If it helps, this happened again when vsftp tried to upgrade, and I
found that if I kill the vsftpd process as Update Manager is hanging on
its update, Update Manager continues its work. Maybe there's a deadlock
or something?

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vsftpd
I was updating this package through update-manager and it hung after
saying that the group vsftpd already existed, so it was doing nothing.
I waited about 10 minutes and nothing further happened, so I had to
ctrl-c to kill it.
