I had an odd problem installing patch by pkg-installer. When it finished downloading repository description the progress dialog did not go away. It stayed with progress bar on 100%. Thread 4 was MUTEX blocked on thread 3, which was REPLY blocked on io-net.
It stayed that way for a long while and I thought it would stay forver (network access was still working fine). But then I started vmail and hit Ctrl-L several times to download headers for this newsgroup and pkg-installer magically unblocked.
I’m having a dejaview again. Had similar odd situations in the past with clients hanging on devb-xxx/fs-nfs/pipe until some kind of another activity with resmgr allowed clients to unblock…
Here is relevant pidin output:
