Bug#569193: tasksel hangs during mail server installation

[Dario Corsi <viennestar@gmail.com>]

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.81
Severity: important

When I install the proposed "Mail Server"  tasksel hangs on 96% (configuring uw-imapd).
Brute workaround 
1 - killing the process and reboot the system to avoid some lock in the packages tool
2 - # dpkg --configure -a

Best regards
