Is anybody else seeing this failure when trying to upgrade your system? Its been a 'thing' here since around 15:00 today, 7/6/19, for the last
4-5 hours:
# apt-get update Ign:1

Is there a known work-round?
Possibly related:
- two Fridays ago the update worked, but only picked up 4-5 packages
- last Friday the update worked but no updates were available
Same thing happened to me yesterday. Tried again about 30 minutes later and it was fine. I suggest you try it a few more times (after a coffee break) before you start trying to isolate a network issue.

I thought this might be appropriate ... ;)

Roy Trenneman: [picking up the phone] Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? Uh... okay, well, the button on the side, is it glowing? Yeah, you need to turn it on... uh, the button turns it on... yeah, you do know how a button works don't you? No, not on clothes.
Maurice Moss: [picking up the phone] Hello, IT... Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?
Roy: No, no there you go, no there you go. I just heard it come on... no, no, that's the music you heard when it come on... no, that's the music you hear when... I'm sorry, are you from the past?
Moss: See the driver hooks a function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in there and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory! [chuckle] Hello?
Roy: Oh really? Then why don't you come down and make me then. Huh, what you think I'm afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you. You can come down here any time and I'll be waiting for you! [slams down phone] I told her!
I should have said that Internet access from my other Fedora-based laptop and PC were working as normal and that Firefox was able to display the files and directories containing raspbian packages on mythic beasts.
Anyway, I left the RPi running until a few minutes ago, when I logged onto it and found nothing had changed - I was still unable to update the system. Then I discovered that hosts on my LAN could be accessed from the RPi but that nothing outside my ADSL router was visible.
At that point I rebooted it and retried the update. The RPi has now updated itself successfully. Its now running normally after a post-update reboot and is accessing the 'net as normal, so I'm completely baffled by its failure to update itself yesterday.
Maybe it took a hit from a high energy particle after I'd booted it yesterday which flipped a few bits. Who knows.
