[Chris Rosenthal <genericgeneric@xxxxxxxxx>]

grub was "half configured".  dpkg was sleeping instead of configuring.
Relaunching the installer from a terminal revealed the problem: grub
itself was launching a terminal window and asking questions.  Under
software updater, the window was never displayed.

reboot and then from a terminal window:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Many things re-installed. During the "update" phase, grub displayed a
completely new terminal window which reported that the disk had changed
and I needed to identify the new disk (it had not).  I fed it one of the
choices ( I think /dev/hda) and it was happy, and everything seems to be
functional again.  I think  it was the inability of software updater to
permit the terminal window which caused the dpkg to wait for ever.
