Hangs, as in - sits idle for over 24 hours and never completes?
   Or 
Hangs, as in - takes an unexpectedly long time?.

The first may be a problem.
The second may just be a perception of a hang.  Let it run for a while
and see if it finishes.  An install has a lot of packages to verify
dependency checks on. Time required is dependent upon system (cpu speed,
memory, drive space, etc.) and installation (number of packages, etc).
