I have this at the end of my /etc/apt/sources.list to retrieve Oracle code:



deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free


When I run sudo apt-get update, the app gets stuck displaying this message:



100% [Waiting for headers]


If I remove this, apt-get update runs without error.



Is there a new, recommended URL for Oracle products and, generally, how do you fix this problem?



I am pretty sure this did not happen on 11.10 and has only started with the move to 12.04.



I have seen these answers and they do not help:

This a problem with the repository, and not 12.04. I observe this problem on both:

Please remove that repository, it seems to contain a handful of packages last updated in 2007 at any rate.
