Seems to hang when it can't find the kernel headers.
If you forget that they can come with the package for a moment and just install them directly.  If you've been away for some time you probably did not get the memo that systems don't come with the headers or kernel source code by default so you have to go get that package.......
Such is the brave new world where things are done for us by others.
