This looks a lot like Bug#728572 - do you have any hints how to reproduce this? Will it be triggered with any package or just with specific ones? Its a issue that was supposed to be fixed with apt 0.9.12.1. It would be great if you could manually trigger it via: $ sudo apt-get install pkgname -o Debug::pkgDPkgProgressReporting=1 this should give me a good hint what is going on.
