[SOLVED] Apt updates terribly slow

[XabiX]

Hello,

I am running the latest non subscription release and I don't why but the apt-get update get stuck.

pve-manager/5.4-4/97a96833 (running kernel: 4.15.18-13-pve)​

I tried changing it and the VMs don't have any issue. My setup has been working since months with no issue. Not sure what could explain the issue.

aptitude install screen
The following NEW packages will be installed:

If I check the network it seems weird:

Any idea of what the issue can be?

You can try to use another debian mirror (replace address in /etc/apt/sources.list):

Yes I did try but it stucks on a subsequent item which also happens when I attempted to use another depot like:
deb http://debian.mirrors.ovh.net/debian stretch main contrib

I believe the issue may be coming through the Proxmox depot
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch pve-no-subscription

Thanks

PS: I will wait and maybe it will get back to normal automatically

You ping the ipv6 address of ftp.fr.debian.org and get 100% packetloss, you traceroute to the ipv4 address of ftp.fr.debian.org and it works - I'd guess the problem is with ipv6 connectivity - your system seems to have a global ipv6 address and default route, which does not work - you could try disabling ipv6 and try updating again.

Hope this helps!
