Package: apt
Version: 0.7.16+b1
Severity: important
For the last two days, "apt-get update" does not get beyond the "99% [5
Packages gzip 0]" point. I can wait for hours, it does not change. Here
is a partial snapshot of attempt:

99% [5 Packages gzip 0]
Note that the last repository that appears before the final 99% line is
variable. I am experiencing the same problem on at least two different
machines, with a very similar installed configuration. And behavior of
aptitude is exactly the same.
