(Get the code!)
Hi,
Perhaps a strange "gutsy" feeling? (Sorry poor joke). I'll start using
xterm and see if the problem repeats. Come to think of it, I have
noticed that some apparent hangs can be solved by hitting the enter key
after which an error about a closed socket appears. If the problem
reappears when using xterm then we can discount the idea. Just remember
though that this problem has only appeared for me in this last few weeks.

AFAIK, update-manager and synaptic use the same codebase for displaying the terminal as gnome-terminal does. So, I'll try to find out what happens when I upgrade from xterm rather than from gnome-terminal
