Shouldn't the reloading of the cache happen in the background right
away? Why do I need to hit a key for it to start. Instead, start it
right away, and let the user hit a key to continue or 'q' to quit.
If s/he continues, then the UI can pick up the background process.
If 'q' is pressed instead, say that "aptitude is shutting down"
until the background process returns.
