Bug Description
The update-manager stopped on "Setting new software channels" for over five minutes. The progress bar was all the way to the right except for a tiny sliver. Below the progress bar, it said "Calculating the changes". I almost killed it since it was taking so long with no indication of progress.
Info on the system being upgraded:

TEST CASE:
1. install karmic
2. run update-manager
3. click on "new release available"
4. follow the steps
5. verify that the "calculating changes" step shows a progress pulse
Changed in update-manager (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Confirmed → In Progress |

Thanks for your bug report.
I think we should add two changes:
a) a spinner that is shown next to the "Calculating changes text"
b) and changing the text to append "Calculating the changes (this may take some minutes)…"
Unfortunately we are in string freeze currently.
