Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
To me this doesn't seem to be a network problem (as with my i686). Other files came fine and re-running stops always here.
PS. Thanks for a great port!

Workaround:
I read a solution in this forum thread:

"Disable the partner repository in Software Sources and try again"
This worked for me
