Bug#177591: anna: hangs when an IO/md5sum error occurs
Package: anna
Version: 0.019
I got the following error when I tried to install from CD. This
happened after I choosed which extra udeb to install. I choose the
SCSI modules udeb.
Choose which modules to install.

Input/output error
Checking the prosess list in tty2, I see the following at the end of
the list:
43 root 924 S /usr/bin/debconf/frontend /usr/bin/main-m
44 root 808 S /usr/bin/main-menu
107 root 784 S sh -c /urs/bin/udpkg --configure anna
108 root 724 S /usr/bin/udpkg --configure anna
109 root 784 S sh -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/anna.postinst conf
110 root 784 S /bin/sh -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/anna.postinst
111 root 844 S anna
387 tty2 root 840 R ps
I guess anna is waiting for something. I do not know what it is
waiting for.
If I do not choose the SCSI modules udeb, the install fails on another
udeb (nic-modules-shared-2.4.20-386-udeb_2.4.20-2_i386.udeb). I'll
investigate why the installation fail in my VMWare session, but my
point in this bug report is that anna should detect the failed
retriever, and return to the menu or do something else.
