[SOLVED] apt-get update hangs

[degeulars]

As Iridium suggested running the update via xbian-config through ssh:

1. Update mirrors. Runs fine and return to main menu ok
2. Apt-get update. Fetches the package lists and just hangs. Killed that and relogged in
3. Check deb upgrades. Runs and updated a bunch of stuff most importantly apt and apt-utils.

After that apt-get update works again. It also updated xbmc to kodi so I had to fiddle around with the settings but it works!

Make sure you have updated the sources.list and sources.list.d/xbian.list as instructed in the xbian FAQ and then run the updates through ssh in xbian-config without getting too concerned that apt-get update doesn't run successfully. Worked for me anyway. Check your free space before, I got some problems after the update with a 98% full root partition, but destroyed some snapshots.

Thanks Iridium! Good luck to the others with the same problem.
