Jetpack 2.1 Installation hangs During CUDA toolKit Installation (tzdata)

I am trying to install Jetpack 2.1 on my TK1 kit. The installation gets stuck whenever CUDA toolkit tries to install package tzdata. I have restarted in multiple times but it always gets stuck somewhere around this package.

The log shows current process till:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  tzdata
1 upgraded, 111 newly installed, 0 to remove and 64 not upgraded.
Need to get 67,8 MB/1.152 MB of archives.
After this operation, 2.005 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main java-common all 0.51 [130 kB]

I am considering this as ‘hanged’ because the installation remains stuck at the same point for more than 20 minutes and the HDD shows no activity. I am thinking about installing 2.0 instead or getting tzdata package from elsewhere and then installing. Please assist.

I have no ability to test JetPack (I use Fedora), but you might consider manually updating tzdata prior to running JetPack. E.G., “sudo apt update” followed by “sudo apt-get upgrade”. I’m not sure what the equivalent is for Ubuntu, but typically package managers also have the ability to delete any cached entries or cached information, after which hung package installs would work properly with again.
