It's almost as if the os is waiting for 'something' before finally processing whatever apt install I've initiated. This problem occurs with mr fixits update script, and never did get any further then 'checking for dependencies'It might be trying to use IPv6 which can cause a large delay. Something like this will disable it for apt*:
Code:$ echo 'Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4
If this helps the problem will be fixed when newer (mainline) kernels will be available.
