This problem with NCU was just discussed - the message with the problem
(which can't be fixed, it's a problem with the NCU binary) is here:

Hrm. I'm not sure about that. I've always had to make sure that if I'm
installing one package after another, that I wait around 5-6 seconds
before trying to install the next package, otherwise the connection will
hang. I think this is because the Newton needs time to actually install
the package (locate it in memory and such) and run its InstallScript. Not
sure if this is related to your problem, but FWIW...
