Hi,

 OK, I have found some strange things (bug #244183):

 The postinst scripts starts here...

 Siggy corrected my gate_news handling (r39), as boolean returns true/false
instead of yes/no. I bet it applies for debconf 1.4.0 and above (Woody
has 1.3.22, thus it uses yes/no yet).

 Debconf related stuff is over.

User experience hang here.

                                               ^^--- this process hangs
The relevant lines from postinst:
# fix permissions
find /var/lib/mailman/ -type d -print0 | xargs -r -0 chmod g+s
chmod o-r,o+x /var/lib/mailman/archives/private

Anyone has idea why a simple find like this should hang? Maybe it's over
an NFS share, and it's not available?

Cheers,
