Xubuntu 8.04: Sometimes when downloading new packages via Synaptic the Apply will start downloading packages. This typically freezes, sometimes halfway through. If you press cancel, after 'some reasonable amount of time' the manager continues (having actually downloaded the files) and unpacks and installs.

Seems to have happened about 3/5 times installing over 30 packages from the Xubuntu 8.04 baseline.

I noticed tonight that this freeze can also happen when its building its dependency tree. I dont know if it is the manager's fault or it is waiting for some Xubuntu server. Moving the manager window or disturbing it seems to unfreeze it so it feels like it is the application itself that is faulty. Never seen on Ubuntu 7.10.
