Hi, I have a relatively fresh install of Debian 8
I did a sudo apt-get install postfix The treminal then came up with a page with instructions and an <OK> button, I then left this while I was waiting for my DNS change to resolve which took several hours. When I went back to the terminal it was frozen. I tried ctrl-D,C, and Z. I then had to kill the terminal with the close button. Then I found dpkg still running and had to kill that as apt-get would no longer run. Hears my sources.list file, not sure thats relevant or will help ? ~~~ /etc/apt/sources.list ~~~ # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.3.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20160123-19:03]/ jessie contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8.3.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20160123-19:03]/ jessie contrib main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie main deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie main deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib # jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib ~~~ Hope you can help ! I would rather not do a fresh install if it can be avoided. Many thanks in advance, Aaron
