We are getting a build error on all of our builds that we’ve never seen before:

`Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 connection timed out`

I can visit [archive.ubuntu.com:80](http://archive.ubuntu.com:80) and see that it was last updated today, Dec 20 - not sure if anything changed, but it seems to be up.

What could be happening? Nothing else has changed with our app. We recently did a ruby and rails upgrade and heroku stack upgrade that went smoothly, this issue started cropping up after that but does not seem related (but it could be?)

Any advice welcome!

Seems like I may have been running builds during a time [archive.ubuntu.com](http://archive.ubuntu.com) was undergoing an update or something - after a while, builds started running normally on their own again 🤷‍♀️

Yes yesterday both [archive.ubuntu.com](http://archive.ubuntu.com) and Docker Hub were having problems.
