[Bug 1021617] [NEW] Xubuntu installer hangs if we "download updates while installing"

[quadra]

Public bug reported:

I did a fresh Xubuntu install on a Dell Mini 10 notebook.
Connected to LAN using Ethernet 100Mbps, fast Internet connection over ADSL 2000 kbit/s

If I  check "Download updates while installing" and/or "Install third-
party software", the installer will hang for some minutes (sometimes),
without providing any feedback on what it's doing. (Is it downloading
packages or repository indexes?)

If I uncheck both "Download updates while installing", and "Install
third-party software", everything is OK. Next dialog "Installation type"
is shown after 6 seconds.

This might be discouraging for new Xubuntu users. The installer should
display a progress bar and say what it's doing.

Otherwise Xubuntu 12.04 is great ;-)

lsb_release -rd: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 
apt-cache policy ubiquity: Installed version = 2.10.16
