I started it again, and now the Pending view is empty.

The first time it had arj as the first package. I doubt anything depends on arj.

The first time I also tried different mirrors. With same result (lot
of packages in Pending).

Now I again tried 2 different mirrors and both show no packages Pending.

I did not install anything on the first occasion, I canceled the Setup.

I'm even more confused now...

David
