Bug description:
When the machine is behind a proxy server, the installation will block
for a while (several minutes) to retrieve the package lists. The
timeouts are too long and makes user feels the machine may have some
problems.
The symptom is similar with bug #14599, but it seems the apt-setup
module was rewritten.
Another method to trigger this issue is to make the machine cannot
access to the Internet, for instance: a wrong gateway.
