Are you updating Debian on a potato with every single one of the 74000+ packages installed? Because even on my slowest machines (going back decades) it’s never taken anywhere near that kind of time to complete a full version upgrade, let alone just an update.

I had an update take like 20 minutes
Though that was primarily caused by the machine having like 200kBps download speed
It took me something like 5 hours to upgrade from Devuan ASCII to Daedalus (3 dist upgrades), and ensuring stuff still worked between versions.
