wireshark package

Download hangs with software update

Asked by Dave

Use software update, try to install wireshark. Claims installing, just hangs, no progress visible, no indication of a problem, no way to cancel it, no description of what is (or is not) happening, just a well we got this far and we are going to sit here doing fa while you wonder what is going on.

Not sure what is the fault - the software update software being very unhelpful, the download site dead, what ever I DO know the internet connection is working.

Note firefox on the same machine can connect to the server (by name) and can download at least one sample file I chose. Firefox claims to be using system proxy settings.

firefox on the same machine downloads files from location with no issue. Firefox claims to be using the system settings

Try:

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update

Does that work OK?

no, it really is something with the way the command line and installers are trying to use the network, exactly the same times out.
command shell ping fails. Yet the same machines browser is happy as a sandboy

After a wild thought I notice that ping www.google.co.uk resolves the name but then fails but ping of microsoft doesnt resolve (so of course wont work)
I am now googling to see if anyone has an idea about that, from the list of responses I can at least be assured I am not the only one who has ended up stuffed by this.

Have you tried a different DNS server?

What is the output of:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Can you help with this problem?
