During an apt-get upgrade on etch, progress stopped on:

Code:

apt-get -f install and dpkg --configure -a produce identical results. It just hangs indefinitely until killed; CPU usage is nil, and there is no hard drive activity. The system has been, and still is, running fine otherwise. I have therefore avoided rebooting it. I did not find any relevant bug reports at debian.org, so I suspect a local problem, but I have no idea what it might be. Is anyone else seeing this?

Try doing: dpkg --configure --pending
If dpkg quits with an error while apt-get install, upgrade, or dist-upgrading try running this to configure the packages that were already unpacked. Then try apt-get - f install, upgrade, or dist-upgrade -f, and then try apt-get install, upgrade, or dist-upgrade again. Repeat as needed.
