i was installing updates on my ubuntu 10.10 tower (i686), and it always
locks when updating initramfs-tools. it is creating some boot file (i do
not know off the top of my head, i will post it as soon as i know what
it is) when it locks. i tried apt-get, it made me run dpkg --configure
-a to resume-installation, no surprise, but that locked too. using
update manager, of course, made me do a partial upgrade, but again,
locked at the exact same point.

now i am stuck with a computer that is incapable of installing software
or updates...
