Dear Achilleus,
Dunno, it's a multiuser environment. However, I'll try asking everyone to
stop working for a minute...
... oops, I just see that it finished about half an hour before (taking an
amazing 76 minutes for ALTER TABLE to complete). About that time, I started
and exited a client. Seems it solved the problem. Now "vacuum full analyze"
finished in a couple of seconds.
Do you have any idea about an explanation? Does vacuum wait for the end of
each and every transaction?
G.

Maybe its a locking issue.
Did you quit any app using the DB?
Did you commit/rollback all pending transactions (if any)?
