Title:
  "Downloading Package Files" seems to fall asleep forever.

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) using Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala - released in October 2009 and supported until April 2011
  2) Update Manager, I guess.
  3) I expected to download:
    a) the latest updates from the Update Manager
    b) "Install the gufw package"
  4) "Downloading Package Files" seems to fall asleep forever.
    I let it try for hours - literally [17:30 - 00:30]
    - broadband internet connection
    It refuses to be closed.
    Reboot required - as I do not know another way to force closure.

  Do I need to reformat the disk and reinstall Ubuntu?  
  At this point, I do not know what else to try.
