It happened to me some time back as well, and when it freeze it freeze,
none of the logs helped me to trace down the culprit. My conclusion was
that it could happen any time, not related to any package/tool.
Only after I entirely wipe the whole OS and installed a brand new
upgraded one did the symptom stopped.
Maybe play with some other distro (eg Ubuntu live) and see if it happens
too. Thus to isolate HW out of the culprit.
my 2c.
