[SOLVED] apt-get update hangs

[willlovett]

Hi there,

fyi, I'm seeing the same thing.

This was a newly installed Xbian 1.0 RC 3 Raspberry Pi.

Slightly suspiciously, xbian.brantje.com appears in xbmc.log. This is long after I'd followed the FAQ about changing the apt sources, and after a reboot. Grep of /etc and ~ doesn't find any files with brantje in.

Here are the snippet of xbmc.log, and cat's of my sources lists:

I couldn't find any more helpful logs about apt itself.

Whilst update is hanging, upgrade does appear to be working, so I'm performing a package upgrade now & will let you know if it makes any difference

ok, so...

apt-get upgrade worked fine.

... and now so does apt-get update, *but*... it does (seemingly) hang for around 1 minute (on RPI B) before completing.

I have no way of telling whether it would have completed successfully if I'd have just left it before the upgrade. I'm *pretty* sure I left it for longer than that though.

Anyhow - works fine for me now. Recommend the original poster does an upgrade first, and or waits a little longer for update to return.
