This happened during an upgrade from karmic to lucid. I looked at the process list and noticed that the lucid installer had forked out to call debconf, like this:
30802 pts/1 S+ 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/
30811 pts/1 Z+ 0:00 \_ [uw-imapd.postin] <defunct>
so after about 5 minutes of waiting, I did some straceing and noticed that debconf was just reading over and over against a resource that was not available, (guessing it was trying to talk to a socket from the uw-imapd.postin which was defunct)
assuming that there was no end to the read loop, I terminated the debconf uw-imapd.postinst process with "kill -9 30802" and the lucid installer continued on but gave me the warning about uw-imapd not being installed correctly. I can re-install and fix it easily enough.
