Package updates from a local server fail to download. However, the same updates work when a much slower external repository is used. Way are local updates failing?
A.
The update utility is trying to use a proxy to access the internal resource.
B.
The Internet connection is too slow.
C.
The Internet is down at the moment, which causes the local server to not be able to respond.
When package updates from a local server fail but succeed from an external repository, it is often due to misconfiguration in the update utility. One common issue is that the update utility might be configured to use a proxy, which is not required or properly set up for internal resources. This misconfiguration can cause the update utility to fail in reaching the local server.
