Public bug reported: When I first launch update-pciids it hangs just after sudo password validation. There are no progress bar to know if download is just slow or if it hangs definitely.
Internet connection was OK, since I made an apt-get install just before. draco@draco-ultrabook:~$ sudo /usr/bin/time update-pciids [sudo] password for draco: ^CCommand terminated by signal 2 0.00user 0.01system 8:21.97elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2124maxresident)k 0inputs+120outputs (0major+1393minor)pagefaults 0swaps => Canceled after 8 minutes => process is stuck at wget command (thanks to htop) but there is no such information to the user.
