Thanks, Nils, for the suggestion.  That got me past that particular 
file.  But now it's stuck again at:


Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/universe Packages
Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages [4297kB]
Hit http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/universe Sources

Is there some place this could be reported?
