Debian-8 Update Hangs

[amadaus]

In Qubes OS 3.2 rc2 updating Debian 8 via VM Manager and the terminal
resulted in failure - it hangs forever. Consequently I tried a fresh
install of OS 3.2 rc3. I successfully uddated Dom0, Fedora23 and Whonix
templates BUT when it came to Debian-8 it stubbornly refuses to update.
Anyone any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong.
PS the command i'm using in terminal is: sudo apt-get update && sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade.

I've noticed that when I update Debian and Whonix templates using that
command, the terminal appears to hang, but the template actually
updates successfully. Can you try running the same update command again
afterward? It should complete successfully (with 0 new packages
updated, available, etc.) the second time.

It is always at this pointthat the system hangs for hours.

Solved
Instead of using command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade - which always fails. Use the shortened command sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade - it worked a treat!
