when apt gets stuck on ubuntu archive, do this...
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2018 2:09 pm
i've run into apt-get getting hung on loading an update from the ubuntu archive on a new vm or other install of eve:
solution
from eve-vm as root
vi /etc/gai.conf
scroll and uncomment line that reads exactly:
#precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100
be sure it is the line that ends with 100
remove #, then
:wq
to save
re run apt-get update, etc.
there is another line that reads:
precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 10
do not touch this one
