Update hanged, now stuck in loop

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Hi folks, 

during the last upgrade, it stuck during the update of the package "virtuoso-
opensource-6.1".

Now I am sticking in a loop. I cannot deinstall the package, as it wants 
configure itself and then hangs up, nor I can reinstall it, as I am running 
into the same loop again.

I also tried to download it agarin, but this was not possible, too. My system 
believes, it is still downloaded. 

However, I downloaded the package manually via FTP, so I have it here on my 
harddrive.

When I want to install it, these messages appear:

---------

 LANG=C dpkg -i virtuoso-opensource-6.1_6.1.4+dfsg1-5_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 420102 files and directories currently installed.)

and then it hangs.

Any ideas? Or is this a bug? I am running debian/wheezy, amd64.

Best regards
