I updating to 23.7.6 on the lab box without a problem.
My production box has now stalled during downloading of packages, after 11 of 26, and been stuck there for some time.
I have full, normal, internet access and other operations (this post being an example).
Assuming conversation with the mirror is lost, should I continue to wait, assuming it will continue eventually, or take some action? If the latter, what is the correct, safe action to take?
I selected option 1, wait, and went to sleep, it being nighttime on this part of the planet. This strategy worked perfectly. 23.7.6 is up this morning.
