[Linux-disciples] apt-get with a flaky internet connection.

[Karl Sokol]

Hey all, it's been a while,

I am trying to upgrade my computer with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
Unfortunately, I have an internet connection that comes and goes.  After a
certain amount of time-out errors ...

e.g. "Failed to fetch
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/j/jakarta-log4j1.2/liblog4j1.2-java_1.2.13-4_all.deb
Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.92.3), connection timed
out [IP: 91.189.92.3 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix-missing?"

... the upgrade fails and kicks me to the command prompt.  Is there a "if at
first you don't succeed, try, try again" option?

Grace and Peace,
