New update hangs at 15%

[ruetheday]

There are updates in the update manager, however, it hangs when reaching 15%.

I have also used the terminal using sudo apt-get update and that hangs around the same place.

what do i do next?

Is this an 'update' or an 'upgrade'. If so of what OS or from what OS to what other OS?

[ruetheday]

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron)

and it is an "Update" using the update manager or terminal command sudo apt-get update

Is there an error message?

Same thing is happening to me, except I don't see a progress bar. Update Manager says there are two updates, libgtkimageview0 and libkdcraw3. This happened after I upgraded to the new Ubuntu version. The Update Manager screen is greyed out and won't let me exit out of it.
