Hm, well I just tried downloading a snapshot and then installing packages on 
top of it with `raco pkg install`. That works fine. 

I went back and rebuilt from source with `make base` and had the same hanging 
problem. 

So I'm not sure what's happening. Has the whiff of a circular-dependency 
problem (leading to an infinite loop) rather than a network-latency problem, 
but I have no further evidence.
