Hi,
A few weeks ago I wrote a bug against the blkid command,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi.
I am still having trouble with blkid, this time it's in a VM (VirtualBox) while
upgrading from FC32 to FC33.
blkid is at the util-linux-2.35.1-4.fc32.x86_64 level running on kernel
5.6.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc32.x86_64.
The install has been running for 16+ hours now and appears to be hung in the kernel
upgrade:
Running scriptlet:
libreoffice-data-1:6.4.0.3-2.fc32.noarch

Running scriptlet:
pulseaudio-13.99.1-1.fc33.x86_64

Running scriptlet:

Running scriptlet:

Here's what pstree says about the dnf process:

I have done "strace -xvfp <pid>" on all the processes listed. NONE are
running. ALL "say" they're waiting on a system call like wait or read except
for the blkid process which reports NOTHING. I tried killing the blkid process but that
just schedules, IIRC, a kill signal against it's process but since that process
doesn't seem to be getting any cpu time, the kill will NEVER complete.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. Write another bug report?
Best regards,
George...
