proxmox-boot-tool hangs forever - no error message

proxmox-boot-tool hangs forever without any error message
Since it seems to be run during apt-get upgrade, the whole upgrade hangs now
Please advice

* open another ssh-session/shell and post the output of `ps auxwf`
* check the output of `dmesg`

on a very far fetched hunch - maybe your disk is broken and needs replacement

No dmesg output, disks are fine. I don't remember ps auxwf output but the problem fixed itself, took 10 minutes to copy the 2 kernels, then the update went through. Copies kernels now in normal speed.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
