Based on the screenshot, your download speed for the packages seems to be very slow. Perhaps you want to use a faster mirror.


Maybe you can try netselect-apt as mentioned here[1]. HTH. Thanks.

For archive packages being slow (as you have) I use apt-cacher-ng on
my laptop. It caches the debs making snapcraft builds much faster.

Alternatively, push it to launchpad and build there?
