Running that command gave this output:

dpkg-query: no packages found matching linux

Nothing was happening so I stopped the process. I filed this under
"linux" because I wasn't sure where else to file it.

Title:
  Network connections crash from overflow when unresponsive

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  OS: Lucid 10.04.1 LTS, upgraded from Karmic 9.10

  If too much information is sent to an unresponsive network connection,
  the connection seems to 'fail' and stops working. The unresponsive
  network connection is usually the result of a proxy or NAT router
  restarting.

  Steps to duplicate in 10.04:

  1) set up "ping -f google.com -i 10"
  2) set up "ping -f google.com -i 1"
  3) restart router

  Result: the flood ping with interval 10 will show one or two dropped
  packets while the router is restarting, and then will show no further
  errors. The flood ping with interval 1 will continue to show dropped
  packets after the router has restarted, as too much information is in
  the connection buffer or something.

  This also applies to IM connections (tested with Pidgin connected to
  MSN). If update information is sent while the router is restarting,
  the connection to the server 'stalls' and is only reset by the
  application after 15 minutes. If no information is sent while the
  router is restarting, the connection works fine immediately after the
  router has finished restarting and connected to ISP.

  
  Also tested this on 10.04 32-bit from a Live usb. First test with 10-sec interval stalled when restarting router, but with a 20-sec interval, there was only one missed packet and then resumed normal operation. Meanwhile the 1-sec interval ping completely stalled even after the router finished restarting.
