    Update package lists using ListUpdate (libapt-pkg)

    The previous list update code is mainly a duplication
    of the algorithm available in libapt-pkg.  It has a
    history of being problematic and was generally never
    up-to-date with APT.  The new code simply wraps an
    algorithm provided by libapt-pkg and resolves some
    long-standing issues:

    - Update errors are reported. (Closes: #451137)

    - Run APT::Update hooks. (Closes: #476399)

    The one known short-coming with the new code at the
    moment is that if the user cancels the download in
    the curses interface, errors are reported for any
    files that were remaining.
