While upgrading the package, post_service results in calling pmap_dump: apt-get---sh---post_service---service---portmap---pmap_dump which then hangs on an attempt to connect to a system's external IP which is firewalled down: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(111), sin_addr=inet_addr("a.b.c.d")}, 16 Disabling iptables for a few seconds results in successful exit. It was mentioned that pmap_dump should attempt a connection to 127.0.0.1, not any other IP on the system.
fixed in 6.0-alt1
