Hi Bamajr,
That sounds like a great idea... I've not had that problem with DO, so I figured that it was linode's fault. However I was wrong. I just spinned up a new droplet and started installing things and I got errors in abundance on DO as well ...
The only difference from when I was working error free is that ALL errors have occurred on 16.04 with me. Never had any problem whatsoever on 14.04. So it might be that, but I am not sure ...
