[Bug 501335] Re: Synaptic pkg mgr locks at different points during http wget of tar.gz

[Brad Krause]

I was installing Xubuntu (current version as of today) on a virtual
machine and the bug popped up several more times. The install was
different from the original that generated this bug report (real
machine, mainly default install) in that the VM installs were on an
'Expert Install' (F6 during install) with some modifications for speed
(nothing drastic). The VM "hardware" is significantly different from the
bare metal (1st bug report). Internet connection was good throughout,
and is wired (not wireless).

In general, if the download failed once it did it several more times,
always within the first 10 or so download lines. Once it was running it
stayed running for several hours. I took an install break for a few
hours and it crashed on the next VM, but then ran fine on the rest (more
duplicate reports not filed). So it seems to be an ongoing problem, and
only with this package. (Other packages, from small ones up to ~60 MB
with 30 MB individual downloads (Java VM) install w/o any problem or
network hiccup.)
