During installation, a package may execute arbitrary scripts to
configure itself. This is the case of isc-dhcp-server, which has a
"postinst" script.

Title:
  package installation hangs

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I try to reinstall isc-dhcp-server to fix some problem, but dpkg hangs
  itself and I need to kill it.

  root at serveur:/home/pierre# apt-get install --reinstall isc-dhcp-server

  Préparation du remplacement de isc-dhcp-server 4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu1 (en utilisant .../isc-dhcp-server_4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...

  then, no more output, the system seems idle.

  Killing dpkg let me again use my prompt.

  The logfiles does not show any useful error messages

  I tried to update and upgrade. Most packages worked, excepted apparmor
  that did the same than  isc-dhcp-server

  I'm using edubuntu 12.04 alpha 2 and tying to set up a ltps server.
