hangs

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

A bit more notes on my case
Critical packages appear to be xfonts-base which installs some fonts and does...

Setting up xfonts-base (4.2.1-12.1) ...
Running update-fonts-dir in misc font directory...done.
Running update-fonts-alias in misc font directory...done.

May be it matters somehow?....
