Debian10: Downloading  the suggested updates, Several minutes into the process download has stopped and is contentedly blinking for half an hour. What to do, any ideas ?

Are you using the command line apt-get or synaptic? You can try "apt-get -f install" on the command line but you need to stop aptitude first.

A., Oh, updates. I am using Debian 9, and one thing I prefer is setting update to 'weekly' so as not to run at every boot. I've noticed the Updater is a bit aggressive and takes bandwidth and cpu cycles. I have become good at using a terminal and root to monitor via the 'top' command. I can kill processes if I need to do so. I also prefer terminal and root for update and dist-upgrade. I'm not a big fan of the auto-updater. By the way - NMGLugers we are scheduled for the 4th, but I will not think about trying to meet this week. See you on the 18th. Thank you, Ted P. On Tue, Jul 2, 2019, 6:34 PM a <a@kaluta.us> wrote:
