Set the env var PACKER_LOG=1 for maximum log detail.

i tried the solution in #31 but downgrading didn't work
i also tried disabling the proxy but the provisioner fails with unexpected eof is i add the use_proxy line

im having the same hanging issue with the package module. no matter where i put the use_proxy = false line it will error
