SOFTWARE VERSION:
maemo 5.0 final SDK

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
Install the SDK over a poor internet connection/when the repository server is
overloaded. When the targets are created and populated with the packages, the
package download sometimes fail and the whole installation process is aborted
and has to be started from the beginning with removing the half-installed
targets.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
When the connection times out during a package download, the installer should
retry fetching the same package before failing.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Installation fails at the first timeout:

Failed to fetch
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo5.0/free/x/xutils-dev/xutils-dev_7.4+4_i386.deb
                Connection timed out [IP: 213.155.157.16 80]


REPRODUCIBILITY:
sometimes

Added 10 retries for apt in the latest published installer.
