Maybe it is waiting on some lock file? Package managers has this tendency...

Does it really start after 4 minutes, or does it just start showing the UI
after 4 minutes? See if new process has been created. If there's a new
process, try to strace -f -p <pid> to see what it is waiting on (you
probably want to suffix this command with [ >update.strace 2>&1 ] as the
output will probably become quite large. Also you should run this as root
if the process launched is not in your own UID)
