Deadlock in Software Update User Interface:
This is how I produced it:
- Start Software Updates
- Available Software
- Added a new remote site http://eclipse.org/tptp/updates/site.xml
- Expanded that site started the "Fetching children" (could be seen in lower right corner of eclipse)
- Collapsed that site
- Opened Ganymede site and selected TPTP from there
- Pressed install
The progressbar showed progress once then stopped. I could not cancel the install, could not leave the update window, could not cancel the fetching-children-process because I had to leave the update window.

Eclipse was not reacting to any input. Had to be shut down by killing the process.

My guess to what happened:
The "Fetching children" process was blocking all internet access (waiting unlimited for something) so that the installation could not download the required packages.
After restarting eclipse I could install TPTP (via Ganymede site) without problems. I removed the link shown above from my update sites because I found the TPTP update site (http://eclipse.org/tptp/updates/) under "manage sites".

It would be a good idea to change the installation instruction of TPTP (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/4.5.0/documents/installguide/InstallGuide45.html) as it is not necessary to add that site. And maybe the shown link is even wrong?
