hangs

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

I've got a bizarre problem - installation process if I add some more
packages to install hangs after /etc/init.d/rcS script runs
install_packages 

+ install_packages
+ tee -a /tmp/fai/software.log
/usr/sbin/install_packages: read config file /fai/package_config/DEFAULT
....
Setting up sip (3.5-3) ...
Setting up octave2.0-staticlibs (2.0.17-7) ...
/usr/sbin/install_packages: is executing chroot /tmp/target dpkg
--configure --pending
/usr/sbin/install_packages: is executing chroot /tmp/target dpkg -C
/usr/sbin/install_packages: is executing chroot /tmp/target apt-get clean

 and then without coming back to conciness it hangs
...

with tee hanging in the back. Killing corresponding tee seems to bring
it back to life....

/etc/init.d/rcS: line 138:   271 Broken pipe             yes ''
       272 Done                    | install_packages 2>&1
       273 Terminated              | tee -a $LOGDIR/software.log
+ unset task_instsoft


How to overcome that problem????? I'm running it on sarge debian
