Public bug reported:
This is pretty much the same bug as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838560, except no -u flag is necessary.
Reproduction:
1. Open aptitude
2. Attempt to update the package list with 'u'
3. One of the requests 404s
4. Aptitude hangs at "loading cache", no progress bar is shown on screen
Removing the offending entries from the sources list means Aptitude no
longer hangs.
