aptitude not working

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

anybody of you using aptitude?
It has a strange malfunction to me: I select the action on packages 
(e.g. opdate or install) then confirm the next review step then, if 
necessary, downloads will happen, then it hangs. It never starts 
unpacking/configuring things. I can hit ctr-lc and notice that if I 
typed something (like Q for quit or G for go) that has been written on 
the command prompt!
It is not a new bug, but a nuiseance for sure. Does it happen only for me?
