It keeps downloading the package openjdk-6-jre-headless
, then does nothing for a while (hanging on what's the last line above), then download the package again. It's at its 13th download attempt at the moment of writing. The actual downloads seem to be done just fine, but whatever it does after downloading seems to be failing.
I tried removing openjdk-6, but then it wanted to install openjdk-7 instead, with the same result, hanging at openjdk-7-jre-headless
instead.
I also tried changing servers from my local (Danish) to the main server. No luck.
It's also keeping me from upgrading alle the other packages.
What to do?
