Debian Stretch I am experiencing a very strange problem.
Yesterday I had my Internet connection switched to a fiber optic network As a result I know have 120 MB/s both down and up. That was the good news. Now for the other side. Synaptic hangs on Downloading Package Information on Reload. The errors are: Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/InRelease Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/stre tch/updates/InRelease Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ dists/stretch-updates/InRelease Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.o rg/debian/dists/stretch-backports/InRelease Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Apt update (as root) gives me: 0% [Connecting to ftp-chi.osuosl.org (2600:3402:200:227::2)] [Connecting to security.debian.org (2607:ea00:101:3c0b::1deb:215)] Yet if I download a package with firefox gdebi is perfectly happy installing it. Everything else is working without any problems. Incidentally, this is a fresh OS installation (due to a mis-function with sda and subsequent replacement. Guidance will be much appreciated.
