Couldn't stat source package list.
The package manager wants to check if new packages are present. It looks in its current list (which it doesn't have in your case because it failed previously) and compares to the remote list (which makes your app manager hangs). As you canceled the previous try, you get the message.

At the end of the log it says "W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems.

These are warning because nokia did not sign their package list with the correct key so you are not sure you are really downloading what nokia's people have done or something else in case their repository has been compromised.

So I'm off to search for this. At the moment it means nothing to me

In short:
1)Disable the repository that makes your app manager hang. Go in the menu -> Catalogue list, search for the problematic repository (tableteer at the moment) and disable it.
2)Retry
3)If still doesn't work, goto 1)
4)Be happy
