Hi folks, this morning I found "apt-get update" getting stuck due to an unresponsive host:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free # apt-get update Err:1 http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid InRelease Could not connect to klecker-ftp.debian.org:80 (130.89.148.12), connection timed out [IP: 2001:6b0:e:2018::173 80] Reading package lists... Done W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/InRelease Could not connect to klecker-ftp.debian.org:80 (130.89.148.12), connection timed out [IP: 2001:6b0:e:2018::173 80] W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I didn't mention klecker-ftp anywhere in my config files. Its not on the round-robin list for ftp.debian.org either: # host ftp.debian.org ftp.debian.org has address 130.239.18.173 ftp.debian.org has address 130.239.18.165 ftp.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::165 ftp.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:6b0:e:2018::173 ftp.debian.org mail is handled by 0 . What would you suggest to avoid this kind of problem? Every helpful comment is highly appreciated. Regards Harri
