Maybe this action is different in dist-upgrade. Then why isn't there so many queries posted online? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/14931/ Another reason would be.. you have already DL'd X to your system, APT pulls in Z too. In between, you get disconnected. APT searches the repo to see Z depending on X with updated timestamp. APT proceeds to pull in BOTH X and Z. Download starts from 0%. Would this be the problem? APT docs say, when resumed, it INSTALLS whatever is downloaded (satisfying the dependencies), and THEN proceed to download further 'marked install' packages. So you would see downloads start from 0%.
