hope you guys can help me find out a solution to this problem that's causing me headache.

My company has a number of front end servers based upon Debian Squeeze, we also set up a local repository into the server lan for those packages that we need to backport or recompile for our own usage.

That's the problem, of all of the 14 front end servers there's only one that freezes during the packages download from the local repository.

I did every kind of test that popped into my brain:

Manually wget the package from shell: OK

Lynx browsing of the repository and download of a package: OK

Scp'ing a package from the repository: OK

Restarting apache on the repository server: Didn't helped me.

Tried to set the HTTP/1.1 pipelining to 0 into apt-get: Didn't helped.

Seems that the problem is only related to the apt-get, but how?

I really hope you guys have an idea, i'm thinking to schedule a server reboot, but it's a production machine so this is not so easy.

Thank you all in advance

Have you tried capturing packets? It should give you some information on connection status, as this usually indicates network problems.

As an example, here's the output for a successfull package install:

Request:

Response:

Is there a apt-cacher proxy declared in the Apt configuration? Check, if the following file exists:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy

See if it points to a server that can't be reached. That would explain the timeout. That happened to me, when I forgot I'd set it up.

Hope it helps.
