Ok, so I tried doing an "aptitude safe-upgrade", I figured out what went
wrong, our firewall didn't like linux-firmware_1.60_all.deb, because it
couldn't scan it, it just returned an error (504 if I remember
correctly). I had to download it manually from home and add it to
/var/cache/apt/archives/. All the other files were ok and the setup is
now installing the files.

I still think this situation should not occur, if there is a problem
downloading something it should give the user some feedback, not just
silently wait forever. If I had received an explicit msg (e.g. file &
link posing problem, error that occurred, etc) I'd have been able to fix
it quicker, aptitude can do it, so should your update manager
(commandline and GUI).
