emacs freezes when I try to package-upgrade-all - the buffers become unresponsive and the last message I see in the minibuffer is "Contacting host: elpa.nongnu.org:443" or the same but MELPA. And that's it, I can only kill emacs at this point.
I have tried starting emacs without my dot file by running emacs -q and upgrading packages works fine. The only thing I did before this started happening was recompile the newer version. How should I troubleshoot this?
emacs version: GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2025-11-12
Edit: Sometimes the freeze goes away and I can see in the list of processes something like this:
melpa.org -- failed *http melpa.org:443* -- Main (network connection to nil:nil)
I can open https://melpa.org/ in the browser, but I can't see the list of packages. If it is a connection issue, would it make sense to use something as a proxy for emacs traffic like pass it through TOR or something? I don't use VPNs.
