There are checkmarks by the different pieces of the update GUI. However, there are 155 pieces (or so it said) and they appear in alphabetic or semi-alphabetic order. I don't know whether they load in that order or if they load based on dependencies. The problem may lie in dependencies.

How do I skip parts of the upgrade? I'd be happy to test that.

Bug description:
I tried upgrading to Hardy using "update-manager -d". After checking for updates, I get a button to upgrade to 8.04, which I pressed. This brings up the distribution upgrade dialog, showing the various steps its going to do. This dialog shows the progress bar advancing a bit, and then it becomes totally unresponsive, not even repainting its own window.
