I've now hit at least two cases where installation failed, but the stub installer failed to report an error and continued to spin infinitely. The first was bug 799289, the second was an instance of the case of bug 799180. Is there anything generic we can do if installation fails? A timeout? Be able to generate errors? Anything?

Through the tests I've done so far, it's quite rare from what I've seen if installation fails. But, the severity is a bit high. Flagging as a want, but not blocking.

Jason, can you check this again now that Bug 811573 added handling for additional failure cases? Thanks
There is now a generic timeout that fails the installation so resolving wfm.
