Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series Bug Description It's really simple. When I updated from 6.06 to 6.10 (!) the setup seemed to just freeze while it worked on wvdial. I've seen a bug similar to this, but my problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with auto-detection (I think). It simply freezes. I hope this hasn't done anything terrible to the upgrade, I understood that it shouldn't be interrupted. After manually restarting my machine. I removed wvdial and its dependent ubuntu-desktop and reinstalled wvdial using apt-get, after freezing on "Setting up wvdial (1.56-1ubuntu1) ..." I terminated with ctrl-c and got the rest of what you see. mistknight@mist:~$ sudo apt-get install wvdial Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Ubuntu, Package Management, Ubuntu LinuxI am a new Ubuntu Linux user. I need to install a package called package.deb.
