And indeed, this corresponds to the observed behavior. OK, maybe you should ask for confirmation to Apt developers and request them to properly document that the timeout has to be specified in seconds. > > > Anyway, I'll try and take a look at some method to set the timeout > > for ruby-httpclient.

As root, back up one file: # cp -ai /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/aptlistbugs/debian/btssoap.rb /root/ Then, edit lines 35รท37 of the file itself (using VIM or any other editor of your choice): # vim /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/aptlistbugs/debian/btssoap.rb Please try to set 10 (in stead of 999) for the three timeout values. Does this solve your issue? Please take into account that I seem to understand that send_timeout will be ignored, unless you have the recommended ruby-httpclient package installed... After doing the test, in case you want to restore the previous clean state, please restore the backed up file: # cp -a /root/btssoap.rb /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/aptlistbugs/debian/ Please let me know how it went.
