Maybe I'm completly wrong, but can it be related to bug #148806? I tried to 'strace -p <pid-of-apt>' and it blocked on a read() syscall, however I don't know on which file ;-( Later I will try to strace all of my apt- get activities, or just take a look /proc/<pid>/fd/ to be able to assign a file to the file descriptor reported by strace.
