Title:
  update-manager sometimes hangs at blank "applying changes" dialog

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Yet another of those annoying intermittent bugs. Sometimes, when I
  attempt to update my system (update manager loads automatically, I
  click on "Install Updates" and then enter my gksudo password), update
  manager will open a window with the title "Applying Changes", but no
  content, and then apparently hang. pgrep and top show one sleeping
  update-manager process (owned by me), one sleeping synaptic process
  (owned by root), and one zombie synaptic process (owned by root), none
  of which are using any CPU. Expected behaviour is for the applying-
  changes window to populate itself with information and show progress
  for the update, and the update to actually happen.

  This bug doesn't always happen; I'm not yet sure what triggers it. If
  you need any more information, just ask.
