[Aptitude-devel] Bug#834790: aptitude hangs at "Loading cache" when unable to download package list

[ydirson at free.fr]

Just hit the same problem after adding a valid sources.list entry without having imported the repo signing key,
and I can confirm it'the behaviour is really awkward - and reading suggestions that letting the user lose time
until he figures out he has to restarti aptitude would be a valid way out instead of displaying a proper message
to the user - that just makes me very uncomfortable, it's just not the level of software quality I have been
expecting around here :)
