Comment 2 for bug 517797

I don't see how any more information is needed here. Marking as New pending somebody else confirming it, but anyone who marks this as Incomplete should state precisely which information they're asking for, and preferably have some idea that it's actually relevant. :-)

Specifically, ubiquity logs don't seem likely to be especially useful here, unless in the off-chance there happens to be something on stderr. The ps trace rather suggests an apt bug, since as far as I can see this is the right way to set the timeout, so reassigning to apt unless Michael or another apt developer says otherwise.
