So it happens even in 14.10? Interesting. I can't reproduce it neither
in 14.04 nor in 14.10.

@slumbergod: does the long wait happen for all packages that you
install? or was cups-pdf special in some way?

Today I wanted to try latest version of synaptic in saucy repo hoping
that it would work after latest updates but it failed me again. I still
use synaptic 0.75.12build1 version. I like synaptic but that bug is
really annoying. I wonder if that bug affects certain architecture,
hardware or distro?
So can anyone using Ubuntu 14.04 confirm whether this is fixed or not?

I had the problem in 13.04, and the upgrade to 13.10 didn't change anything.
