That was four years ago, and never got a reply.

Starting with commit ba7a1a7a4e, the message "Package refresh done" is
shown as the final message when refresh is done.

I also can't reproduce the original issue with a hanging
'package-refresh-contents' on my macOS machine, neither on current
master nor on Emacs 26.2.

Since this bug was opened five years ago, I'm going to assume that the
above means that the issue has been fixed.  I'm consequently closing
this bug report.  If anyone can still reproduce this, please report
back and we can reopen the bug.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
