[Bug 490683] Re: package libsnmp-base 5.4.2.1~dfsg-3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

[Steffen Neumann]

I object that this is a duplicate of #490843 "Confusing debconf question":
here two people report that they'd hit Ctrl-C after a perceived freeze 
of the upgrade/installation.

My lucid-alpha1 installation is sitting at libsnmp-base for >30 minutes now,
and only a ps on a second console showed that is was wget'ting RFCs.

1) This bug implies that we need some kind of progress bar here.

2) Or even better handle this task at a later stage (don't ask me how),
    because lycid reviews will be writing how long the installation takes,
    where (I guess) 5/4 of the time are spent in libsmnp-base.

Yours,
Steffen
