I downloaded the 0.8.14 Debian packages and tried

I know that they work, since they worked fine on my other system, but
this one (which is almost identical, save for the NIC) doesn't work.
Here is what happens in the console:
# dpkg -i ser_0.8.14_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package ser.
(Reading database ... 10117 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking ser (from ser_0.8.14_i386.deb) ...
Setting up ser (0.8.14) ...
Restarting ser: ser
It just hangs there forever. I checked the end of /var/log/messages
but there are no messages from ser there.
I would try reinstalling Debian from scratch, but the server itself is
in another country, and I'm trying to install SER remotely over SSH.
I've tried rebooting which didn't help (although I didn't expect it would).
I searched on Google and the closest thing I could find was invalid
syntax in the ser.cfg script, but this is the initial package
install...
Please, please help me out.

Okay, so if I hit CTRL+C to abort that, I get tossed back to the command prompt.
I checked the package lists against another system that is working
fine, and they are identical (aside from SER, since it won't fully
install).
If I try reinstalling SER, and this time if I try doing an strace dpkg
-i pkgname, I get this:

And that's where it sits.... For a long, long time. Probably forever,
if I let it go that long, but I figure an hour at a time is long
enough.
So, if I try to CTRL+C out of that and then just run strace ser, I get
this and then it hangs:
