Upgrade to 21.1 may take *very* long time (>1h)

On the APU2E4, the update ran completely automatically and smooth in less than 10 minutes. Many thanks to all who contributed to this!

Upgraded two APU2C4, without issues. It took about 12 minutes each time.

Upgraded my Gigabyte GA-J3455N-D3H based firewall successfully, took about 80 seconds until it was pingable again.

Well I can't make the upgrade work.
It takes forever and when I give up and reboot the machine, it's untouched and still on 20.7.8_4.

When I go to the update page, I see this: (please see attachment)

Ideas?

I'm getting the same result upgrading from 21.1.b_140-amd64, except that I have 2 updates pending instead of 3.  When I attempt either update it seems to download and install and reboot but then boots to the same state.

How does one access this console?  When I ssh to the system I get a bash prompt.

Hi everyone,

I upgraded a VM before upgrading one of my GWs.  I monitored the Console and noticed one of the longest steps was the extraction of the new packages.  This takes CPU + I/O.

My GW upgrade time was four minutes.
