Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: aptitude

aptitude sometimes (almost always) stops displaying downloads. When I for example do aptitude update, it suddenly stops outputting.

Example:

Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed Release
Get:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages [1280kB]
Reading package lists... Done 55%]                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               131kB/s 4s

Current status: 9 updates [+8], 2194 new [+6].

Same happens when I do safe-upgrade. Then it also stops when downloading the packages. Never stops while installing them or in other stages!
