Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Sometimes, "apt-get install" works fine, but most of the time it hangs fetching the first package and says "[waiting for headers]" for about 5 minutes or more. If I wait it will eventually clear up and download the packages. If I try to use "wget" to download the package in question it works just fine.
I have a Wireshark capture file which might be helpful in diagnosing the problem. I've attached it to this report.
