If the limitation is on "number of requests" you might want to try using socks5 tunneling over tcp, to a socks server... I can probably provide you with one such (on email) if you like.

@Dutch_master
I am not considering an DIST-upgrade, specially not while apt has troubles updating.

@ralph.ronnquist
Yes, the provider there is not the best, but there are no other options.
I think they give limited access out of the country. (Hungary)
maybe I can set the mirrors back to the Hungarian ones, but those have been slow and unreliable with their updates as well.
I am not sure how they organise things there, it seems their clients are all in some big local network and are been given real IPv4-addresses when asked for.

It appears you are using a VPN or http proxy where that VPN or proxy service is unhapy with the number of requests (per second?).

If that is the case, then you may need to choose a different provider; (I suppose it's technically possible to set up outbound bandwidth limitation but that might require working package system to get set up)

Do first:

apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update

If you haven't already, you need to update/install usrmerge before upgrading your system;

apt-get install usrmerge

Let it complete, can take some time. Then:

apt-get dist-upgrade

Again, let it finish before changing any packages (install/uninstall, etc)

Hello all,
what could be the reason I got these errors?

This comes from a server in another country and the Internet there is not terrible, but not great either.
Any tips on how to proceed?
TIA
