It looks like each of those processes are in interruptible sleep, which means they're waiting on an event to complete.
Can you check
so we can see what apt/dpkg are doing while things are hanging?
You can also check these logs to see if apt/dpkg had any errors: /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/term.log

Maybe kill the ncpa service processes and rerun the upgrade.
Unfortunately that is part of the 'infinite loop' I'm currently in. I kill all the related processes, but then uninstall/reinstall spins them back up and they never complete.

I did, thought I included the output:

Unfortunately it just puts me back in the same loop:

service --status-all
So, this command on its own hangs indefinitely. I'm now working on that, which will very likely resolve the issue (which is probably not related to ncpa at all with the exception of this command being run as part of the installation process).

CONFIRMED. Looks like an admin created an init script in /etc/init.d that was broken and causing the service command to hang.
This had nothing to do with ncpa all along!
