Downloading dependencies randomly fails

[junetried]

While building an appimage with the config file found here, it will fail to download a seemingly random dependency. After some time retrying, it will work.

I also experience this.

Try running it with --debug. Maybe that will show where exactly it's failing.

I found this. It misses setting the LATEST_DEB_URL variable?

If it's happening randomly, it could be packages.ubuntu.com randomly not working. I have noticed it go down and then start working again like 5 seconds later quite a few times when working with other things.

I'll try running your setup a few times myself to see if I can figure out what exactly is happening.

If you have this happen again before I get to that, try seeing if packges.ubuntu.com is working right after it fails.

I'm not noticing an issue with packages.ubuntu.com, I can consistently load it even when the dependency fetch fails.
