Bug#382070: Long pauses during configuring portmap and configuring printconf
Package: installation-reports
I recently did a businesscard install of the etch daily.
There were two unexpectedly long pauses in the later part of the
installation. I've seen these before, so they aren't just a fluke.
So I'm reporting them now.
The first was during "Configuring portmap". Looking on the VT02
console, "ps" showed that it was doing "rpcinfo -p". As an
experiment, I did a chroot to /target myself and tried "rpcinfo -p".
It hung, though a ctl-C killed it.
The second was during "Configuring printconf". Again, looking on the
VT02 console with "ps", it seemed to be doing "/usr/bin/lpstat -l -d -
p -v" for a long time -- then later it was doing "/usr/bin/lpstat -d"
for an equally long time.
Normally these operations take a very short time. Is there something
in the configuration process that is being done out-of-order, so that
a vital system component isn't available yet?
Logs are available on request...
