Comment 1 for bug 186465

I tried running the 'hardy' script from that unpacked directory, and it also displays the window and then just hangs.

I should have mentioned that previously when it was hung, I checked for network traffic using tshark, and there was none.

The hang seems to be

root@lithe# strace -f -p 14963
Process 14963 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0xb7066794, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL

root@lithe# pstree 14771 -a
zsh
  └─hardy ./hardy
      ├─http
      ├─http
      ├─http
      ├─http
      ├─http
      └─http

Invoking the ./hardy script directly asking for the text frontend it does not hang -- at least it successfully gets up to telling me this may take several hours, etc.

So I think

./hardy --frontend DistUpgradeViewText

is probably the best workaround for now.
