apt-get update hangs on a repo addr that should be responsive

Question

--DUPLICATES

apt-get stuck at 0 [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com]

--RESOLVED same as in link above...

general env ( a new isp 2 weeks ago 'web-pass.com' ) ubuntu 12.04 no local dns cache ( config entries count =0 )

problem

apt-get update is bad , hangs up at repo addr below ....

[Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::15)] [Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::15)

given the diagnostics from my system below , i dont understand the issue ( why is apt-get not seeing/connecting to a repo that should be reachable??

rob@ ~$ nmcli dev list iface eth0 | grep IP4
IP4.ADDRESS[1]:                         ip = 100.65.108.17/23, gw = 100.65.108.1
IP4.DNS[1]:                             208.80.68.212
IP4.DNS[2]:                             204.14.152.2
IP4.DNS[3]:                             204.14.152.5
IP4.DOMAIN[1]:                          web-pass.com

so go get the repo from the first dns entry listed above...

rob@ ~$ dig -t a us.archive.ubuntu.com @208.80.68.212
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> -t a us.archive.ubuntu.com @208.80.68.212

why the issue on connecting to the ubuntu repo when it shows up fine on a 'dig' issued to the first dns entry from 'ns_n.webpass.net' ??

Ive assumed IPv4 in the above (noobie on IP6)... this may be my problem.

ifconfig for eth0 below seems to indicate IP6...

no. All i did is 'ifdown' then 'ifup' on all interfaces .. then retry apt-get update ... no change - still hangs up. — rowntreerob, Nov 16 '15 at 18:44

Have you tried this:

sudo -i
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

and then enter update manager, and fix broken package, and it might work fine this way.
