If a package hangs indefinitely upon completion...

...is this a controller.php issue?
Example is the Galleria block. If you check the discussions for this Add-On, you can see many people have reported the same problem. I have tested it extensively over the past 3 months and finally came to realize something broke with the 5.4.1.1 update.
Now, I am just trying to fix it. I've actually done a lot of Googling about this... I already found this update, for example:
http://code.google.com/p/galleria/issues/detail?id=41...
But, that doesn't fix the problem, so I don't believe it's related to the galleria.js.
Since the failure occurs when I click the "Save" button and the controller panel closes, I'm guessing it must be something to do with the controller. If you just refresh the page, the Galleria will be there, but if you don't it will just keep spinning forever. Weird problem.

Matt, he has been gone for a long time, and I keep seeing posts that it is broken, I think it needs to be removed
Is this something the community/core can take on and keep available for free or whatever. Anyone willing to do that?
Thanks, Matt. I'll take a look a bit later and let you know.
I have all the original code for the pre-C5 Galleria and was actually going to spend this weekend trying to convert it myself as my first package-creation attempt using the available tutorials and documentation on packages, but now that you've said it might just be a jQuery issue, that makes more sense and, of course, wouldn't be fixed by wasting time trying to recreate it. Glad you got back to me first.
The entire galleria.js is written in jQuery, so I guess that must be the problem. I would have thought jQuery was backwards-compatible. :-(

We updated the core jQuery to 1.6.2 in our 5.4.2 release, and it seems like this affected a few add-ons that relied on specific stuff that changed between versions...
I emailed the developer of that add-on about a month ago but never heard back. That's unfortunate. If it's truly broken and the dev is not willing to fix it, we may have to remove it from the marketplace...or find some other solution.
