The description of updates is painfully true.

A long time ago I worked at a broker trader where all communications, including servers communications, had to go through zscaler as a man in the middle.

What had been routine all of a sudden became impossible.

Turns out that git, apt, pip, cabal and ctan all had different ideas about how easy they should make this. After a month of fighting each of them I gave up. I just downloaded everything from their public ftp repos and build from source over a week. I wish good luck to whoever had to maintain it.
