[Bug 1850966] Re: Stuck at "Refreshing software cache" after enabling repository not updated for Eoan

[Patrick Böhm]

Hello guys:

First: I'm german, and I think my english is not the best.

I had the same problem. All i did was to get Internet connection.

Sounds simple and silly - but when i got the internet connection, my
"refreshing (software) cache" made it till the end (closed itself just
like in the tutorial, which i am watching)  without problems & without a
"send this problem"-window.

My litle life story: I've been frustrated when I was waiting about a
night to hope, it would been solved in idle. Now - a week later - i am
frustrated with a smile in the face too.

I wish, that this kind of my solution is your solution.

Salut.
