Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

gutsy i386 apt_0.7.6ubuntu14_i386.deb

Every time I do an apt-get update, the program hangs when it tries to
get the Release file. (i.e.
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release).  It says
waiting for headers and no data comes.  The files in the 'partial'
directory are 0 size.  I've never been able to do an apt-get update due
to this problem.  The GET request for
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg does work
and it gets the full file (this is the one right before Release).

I ran tcpdump and no data is coming back from the Release http request
(will double check).  I've also switched the protocol to ftp and the
same problem occurs.

I have searched the existing bugs and have found references to this
problem but I have the latest version of apt for gutsy
(apt_0.7.6ubuntu14_i386.deb) installed and I still get the hang.  I have
tried every remedy I could find on the internet and nothing works.

-  I do not have an http proxy and have no firewall issues.  I can go to the 
files with my web browser without problem. 
- My network interface is working fine.

I can reproduce this every time so if you need me to investigate, let me
know.  Other bugs I've read indicate this was intermittent but this
happens for me every time.

I have an Acer Aspire 1610-E12I12A, Intel Dual Core E2140 (but installed
i386 anyway)
