Bug#924909: texlive-fonts-extra: dpkg install texlive-fonts-extra_2018.20190227-1_all.deb hangs
Hi

That doesn't help indeed, nothing of interest in there.
Nor the history.
Could you run the dpkg from the command line with debugging (as you did)
and send me the output (private email is fine if you don't want in in
the BTS).

Same as mine.

Could be critical. The file, the unpacked version etc all might be
located in tmp.
Can you for the time being set /tmp to something outside of RAM
(maybe export TMPDIR=/var/tmp is already enough?) and retry.
That sounds like the most probable reason.
If this is not the case, you or I should reassign that to dpkg, this has
nothing to do with the texlive package per se, but is a dpkg issue.

No idea, sorry, this is dpkg parlance.
