[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#461349: upgrade stalls w/100% CPU during "setting up cupsys"; 'index++' unkillable

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.5-1
Severity: important
Today's upgrade maxes out the CPU. According to 'htop'
this happens:
apt-get install cups-sys
`- /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 23 --configure cupsys
`- /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postinst configure 1.3.4-4
`- /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postinst configure 1.3.4-4
`- /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/install-docs -i /usr/share/doc-base/cupsys
`- /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -w /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse -a /var/lib/doc-base/documents/cupsys
`- /usr/bin/index++ --config-file /usr/share/dhelp/swish++.conf --index-file /var/lib/dhelp/documents.index --incremental -
'index++' is hogging the CPU, I only noticed the bug after 30 minutes of
that. I aborted 'apt-get' with 'Ctrl-C' but the last three programs
'perl>ruby>index++' were still running. I was able to 'kill' both
'perl' and 'ruby' but not 'index++'.
Trying again results in more of the same, so now my system has several
unkillable instances of 'index++':
% ps -A | grep index
7078 ? 01:02:25 index++
8602 ? 00:00:00 index++
9467 ? 00:00:00 index++
% ps -AF | grep index | grep -v grep

Hope this helps...
