Hi,

I also get warnings like this recently. It starts about two weeks ago, 
and a internet search doesn't turn up many useful results on this 
problem, only with some similar report for ubuntu.

Searching "Timeout was reached" in aptitude's source code doesn't have 
any results either... maybe its a bug in something that aptitude depends 
on (such as apt or dpkg).
