Can anyone explain why this is marked as a duplicate of #39990 ? I don't see any relationship between the two. I have been seeing this behavior for quite a while. It seems to happen much, much more on a low-latency network with an APT mirror. I have seen it more over IPv6 than IPv4, but I have seen it over both. r...@upad:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for ryan: Get:1 http://ted jaunty Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ted jaunty/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty/restricted Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty/universe Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty/multiverse Translation-en_US Get:2 http://ted jaunty-updates Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ted jaunty-updates/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-updates/restricted Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-updates/universe Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-updates/multiverse Translation-en_US Get:3 http://ted jaunty-backports Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ted jaunty-backports/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-backports/restricted Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-backports/universe Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-backports/multiverse Translation-en_US Get:4 http://ted jaunty-security Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://ted jaunty-security/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-security/restricted Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-security/universe Translation-en_US Ign http://ted jaunty-security/multiverse Translation-en_US Get:5 http://ted jaunty Release [74.6kB] Get:6 http://ted jaunty-updates Release [41.7kB] Get:7 http://ted jaunty-backports Release [41.7kB] Get:8 http://ted jaunty-security Release [41.7kB] Get:9 http://ted jaunty/main Packages [1280kB] Hit http://archive.canonical.com jaunty Release.gpg Ign http://archive.canonical.com jaunty/partner Translation-en_US Hit http://archive.canonical.com jaunty Release Get:10 http://ted jaunty/restricted Packages [9217B] Get:11 http://ted jaunty/main Sources [556kB] Get:12 http://ted jaunty/restricted Sources [3252B] Get:13 http://ted jaunty/universe Packages [4733kB] Hit http://archive.canonical.com jaunty/partner Packages Hit http://archive.canonical.com jaunty/partner Sources Get:14 http://ted jaunty/universe Sources [2320kB] Get:15 http://ted jaunty/multiverse Packages [199kB] Get:16 http://ted jaunty/multiverse Sources [106kB] E: Method http has died unexpectedly! I have been witnessing this on (at least) Hardy, Intrepid, and now Jaunty too.
