Once again an 'apt upgrade' has stalled on my 1Gb Pi 4.  Here's where
it stops after a standard 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' :-

    ...
    ...
    ...
    Unpacking apt-utils (1.8.2.2) over
    (1.8.2.1) ...

    update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
    Setting up python-apt-common (1.8.4.2) ...
    Setting up rpi-eeprom (11.0-1) ...

The system is still running as I can still ssh into it from another
terminal window (it's a headless system on my LAN).  After rebooting
and a long wait for it to run disk checks etc. the system came back OK
and had actually finished the upgrade.

This is a pretty standard Raspios Buster Lite installation with few
additions, it's an old Pi 4 with only 1Gb of memory and has a big,
external USB disk drive which powers down when idle.  The USB disk has
its own power supply, the Pi 4 is powered by an 'official' Pi 4 PSU.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this
and/or ways to diagnose what's happening?
