I am having the same trouble as the original poster. My Hardy Ubuntu update hangs while displaying "configuring akiradnews" under the thermometer bar, and in the black box showing the terminal, the message reads "Setting up akiradnews (20080629)". At the same time, Firefox automatically launches and takes me to http://akiradproject.net/repository which has some tips on how to install Cinelerra on Hardy, but not how to deal with the problem of a hanging update manager. I have no idea how to deal with this hanging update manager, and I hope that I won't break my system, as I have no idea as to how to proceed from here. I will post my steps back to this site when I figure something out.
