I dunno anything about this.  I suspect that it can be supported with a
bit of work.

If you just installed, I suspect your system is trying to sort out the
dependencies with installing about 500 upgrades.  I'd leave it run
overnight and see what happens.  You do have a broadband connection,
right ?
