Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
I installed ubuntu 9.04 netbook and decided to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. (I was having problems with various hardware - asus eeepc 1005ha). Download of the various packages proceeded without errors, but when they were unpacked the process hung repeatedly. I tried waiting for two or three minutes and then typed <ctrl>c. This unpacked a couple of more packages, and then locked again. Unfortunately, I don't remember the first package. Scrollkeeper created a large number of errors, evidently it did not like the xml it was seeing.

Thanks for reporting this, from the logs it appears that you hit Ctrl+C while gnome-applets-data was being installed so I'm reassigning it to that package.
You could attempt to install only the troublesome package:
sudo apt-get install gnome-applets-data
To check this package is actually stalling but I suspect it simply needed more time.
