The process can take *very* before you find out if it succeeded or not.
I try different repos.conf servers - one works for a while, then
doesn't, then later, the new one doesn't work anymore and the old one
works again.
I've asked here about it multiple times and get the answers
- "I don't have a problem"
- "just change the server"
- "keep trying"
It can take several hours before it finally works
It seems like a time-out problem. Or maybe a memory problem ... In any
case, it doesn't seem like it ought to be difficult to at least know
what the problem is.
Or?
Thanks all, for the various suggestions, I'll try each.
