Void: Transient resolver failure
 
Hi!

I understand this is not the real place to be asking about Void, but since I haven't found a better alternative and having been well received in a previous thread - which was promptly solved here - I am trying again.

I will be thankful if anyone points a proper place to seek support on Void.
I may have missed some link in Voids website, but I did look for it.

Edit > I have forgot to enclose the images. Doing it in the next post

I am trying to update and have got an error:

Code:

xbps-install -Su

Size to download:              891MB
Size required on disk:        2735MB
Space available on disk:        27GB

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
[*] Downloading packages
ERROR: [trans] failed to download `gawk-5.1.1_1' signature from `https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current': Transient resolver failure
Transaction failed! see above for errors.
# ping -c 3 8.8.8.8   
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

I first run
Code:

xbps-install -u xbps
and then run
Code:

xbps-install -Su

The update process seemed to stall at the last line in the attached image Scene_1. I remember that the size to download at the beginning of the process had been slightly larger than 1100MB.

After waiting a long time,and that after being away from the computer for some hours, I looked at top output for some minutes (enclosed image "Scene_2") and then decided to break the process of updating.
When I once more tried
Code:

xbps-install xbps
I got the transient resolver failure.

I suspect that the thing to do here might be to wait some hours or 1 or 2 days and try again, but since I have no concrete information to guarantee my suspicion I am seeking your kind advice.

EDIT: I have forgot to attach the images. Doing it in next post.

Short after I posted my latest post I tried again and the updated succeeded.
But thanks anyway that LQ offered the opportunity to feel less stressed, by posting my questions.

It is a great help to me, which has in many cases led me to found a solution.

OBS.: the ping lines in

were to check if the problem was due to lack of internet connection.
It returned 3 successful pings, but I failed to make it clear,
