Yes, we have seen hangs in the progress bar around this point occasionally 
(though seldom) too during recent installs.

The strange thing is though that I doubt it has anything to do with the 
errors below as they happen long past the point where the progress bar 
freezes.

These errors also need looking into though.

Could you please file a full installation report so we know which 
architecture this is, which version of the installer you were using, the 
installation method you used etc?
Please attach the full syslog file from the installation (gzipped).
