sudo apt-get update
sometimes becomes stucked:
...
99% [Waiting for headers]
This seems to be a common problem and can have several reasons. For example, on one machine, it was caused because I used a bad proxy server configuration.
Is there a way to systematically analyze the problem? It looked at the man apt-get
but could not find any option that provides more information to isolate the problem. Are there any tools besides apt-get
that I can use to get more insights?
apt-get
.apt-get update
. Installing new packages viaapt-get install
also worked. You may be right thatapt-get
does not cause the problem but at least for me it is some kind of blackbox. My question is what can I do isolate the problem?
