 Run that particular script from the shell - under these circumstances it
does complete.

i.e:

$ mv /etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done$
/etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done

Will stop setup's hangs, until you "reinstall" XFree86-bin-icons or
something else that will cause that package (i.e. the script) to be
extracted again.
