I'm not sure why the package isn't downloading, and I'm not sure where to start with debugging the problem. Could anyone help out with figuring out the issue?

The gsfonts package is taking a really long time to download - like 20 minutes or more (and then I terminated it). Why would it take so long?

  • Can't see any errors or issues. Seems like a normal package installation. – deagh Oct 27 '14 at 06:02

This is just the normal package installation.. Just let it download, it could be because the hosting server is busy addressing too many requests simultaneously because of which it is taking quite a lot of time.

More about this package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gsfonts
