Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Hi,
I am using a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.04. In konsole, or on a virtual terminal, whenever I use a command like
sudo aptitude install netbeans
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude update
etc, my system hangs momentarily after pressing the "Enter" key. It's almost as if it's "searching" for something while hung, then responds absolutely normal. This does not happen when using "dpkg".
This behaviour did not occur on kubuntu 7.10.
Thanks.

I noticed one more thing - after typing "sudo aptitude install xxx" for example, the first line aptitude prints is
Reading package lists... Done
My system hangs after pressing enter, and getting that line. And the hang is absolute - mouse cursor doesn't move, and music playing in mplayer stops for that short time (few seconds).
This is very strange, I've never had such a problem before.
