Good day.
I am trying to install PostgreSQL on an Ubuntu server (15.04) 64 bit. I checked/updated the sources.list and ran:
# apt-get update
followed by:
# apt-get install postgresql
The installation started until it came to "Removing obsolete dictionary files:" where it hangs:
# apt-get install postgresql Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libpq5 postgresql-9.4 postgresql-client-9.4 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common ssl-cert Suggested packages: postgresql-doc oidentd ident-server locales-all postgresql-doc-9.4 openssl-blacklist The following NEW packages will be installed: libpq5 postgresql postgresql-9.4 postgresql-client-9.4 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common ssl-cert 0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Removing obsolete dictionary files:
I left it, but quit after a while. After getting rid of the locks, I tried running:
# dpkg --configure -a
which continued and got stuck at exactly the same place ("Removing obsolete...).
It seems to be something to do with "aspell", but I have no idea what exactly. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried changing the locale and got this:
