If I recall correctly I used this to install some java packages before
the official sun packages were added to the repos. It has been some time
since I've used the machine in question but if memory serves the
sources.list file was auto-generated from the ubuntu source-o-matic and
all options selected, with a few extras such as skype added manually.
None of the manual additions seemed to cause a problem. Also, Dapper was
first installed, "auto" upgraded to Edgy, just in case that makes a
difference.

The timeout was happening _before_ I saw a message about modifying
software channels! There were a series of progress bars which were not
labelled, one of these reached 97% and after a short wait a small error
dialog with approximately 3 lines of text was shown telling me that a
host could not be resolved. Or words to that effect. If you need it, I
can try to reproduce the error and provide a screen shot.

p.s. Upgrader tells me there is more time left now, than was first
estimated when I started the upgrade over an hour ago and it's 45%
downloaded. ;-) I wish I could find a way to more accurately predict
these times.
