[cl-debian] Bug#317533: sbcl install does not complete (with CPU at %99)

Package: sbcl version: 0.9.2.0 When I try to install the latest version of SBCL on my Debian (unstable) it comes to a step in which it waits forever (I had to C-c it after about 15 minutes) and the CPU is at %99. Here's what I did: # apt-get install sbcl Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Suggested packages: ilisp The following packages will be upgraded: sbcl 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 600 not upgraded. Need to get 8424kB of archives. After unpacking 631kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 ftp://ftp.debian.org unstable/main sbcl 1:0.9.2.0-3 [8424kB] Fetched 8424kB in 5m10s (27.2kB/s) (Reading database ... 91643 files and directories currently installed.)

That is likely the issue. I get the same with kernel 2.4. A work-around that I've used: reboot into 2.6 and complete the installation. Then, you can go back to 2.4 if you wish and run sbcl. Kevin
