I ran the following command to upgrade: sudo apt-get install upgrade
. For some reason, the upgrade of the package google-chrome-stable is not going as expected - it downloads the 40MB package but it freezes mid way and starts all over again from 0kb (for google-chrome-stable only). I assume that it has finished downloading other packages but it cannot proceed to install them since download of a package is still pending.
How do I skip this package so that it can proceed with the installation and upgrade of other packages which have been downloaded completely.
Keep in mind that the upgrade is currently running so removing the repository from ubuntu software center will be for future upgrades - I need a solution for an upgrade happening right now.
