Raspberry Pi - Hangs on apt-get installation

[Skybound1]

Trying to install btsync on my Raspberry Pi using apt-get but it hangs on Preconfiguring packages.

Version that is trying to be installed is 2.0.0-2.

Thanks for the help in advance.

I have the same issue on a Odroid-XU running Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS.

Installation went fine the first time, but after remove / reinstall it hangs on preconfiguring packages.

Possible way to reproduce in my case:

1. Install btsync (apt-get install btsync)
2. Run btsync
3. Remove btsync (apt-get remove btsync - apt-get remove btsync-core)
4. Re-install btsync (apt-get install btsync)

root@odroid-server:~# apt-get install btsync

Hope this extra information helps to solve the issue.

And using strace I found the root cause of the problem. It seems to scan for the earlier configured default sync directory, repeatedly. After re-creating that folder, the installation continues.
