It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

This was due to problems with some of the Canonical servers (for the Main & US repo's) starting on 05/15. It has been fixed sometime over the last several hr.s & speeds should be back to normal |

Well this might also be because the upgrade being new,the servers are loaded as many people are updating...So it takes longer than usual... |

Don't see how this is a question, because it's normal too see the repositories take time to update the system and then ubuntu runs some python and perl scripts and all too get the system you have. |

sudo apt-get updatewould also be helpful to compare, once it's stuck there copy the whole text and paste it here as update of your question. Normally both should be the same. What version of Ubuntu are you using? – LiveWireBT May 20 '12 at 15:41
