I recently setup two Linux Lite 2.6 machines (one 32bit, one 64bit).
When attempting to install updates today, on both machines, the update dialogs got stuck on:
"Processing triggers for menu (2.1.46ubuntu1)..."
Any ideas why this might happen? The only choice I have is to cancel, and it's been like almost a half hour.

Can you run the following command in a terminal and post the response?
Code:

Ok. I was hoping the output would show what happens right before you get stuck. If you could get a log showing that, it would help. But I understand your only option when running Install Updates is to use the Cancel button.
Let's try this:
1) Menu, System, Install/Remove Software.
2) Click on Edit, Mark All Upgrades.
3) Click on Edit, Apply Marked Changes.
You might also try Edit, Fix Broken Packages.
Also, do you recall what you last installed? Looking up your error online, it often seems like it was related to something the user recently installed.

"Mark All Upgrades" did not select any packages.
I think the last package to get installed was Plastic SCM, but I've done a few updates in the past without issue.
This was the first time it hung on me, and it was strange it did it on both systems, though they are setup identically (save for one being 32bit and the other being 64bit).
I ended up just canceling, I think I'll start updating from the commandline so I can see where it gets stuck in the future.
Too bad there wasn't a way to show that through the GUI, currently seems you can only view the log at the end of the process.

If you don't get the issue from the command I supplied, but you do with the GUI, then the GUI runs a different command. I wouldn't recommend giving up on the GUI. It's doing what it's supposed to do. And in your case, it's letting us know something is odd. The GUI also more than likely produces a log even when you cancel out of the process. I just don't know where that log file is. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
Did you try Edit, Fix Broken Packages within Install/Remove Software?
Also consider Lite Tweaks (Menu, System, Lite Tweaks). The Autoremove Packages and Package Cache are safe options.
