SUMMARY I have proton vpn and its repositories installed on my system. The country where I currently work in has blocked access to proton vpn's website and also the repository (as well as other prominent vpns). Now every time I start up discover, it takes ages for any step (like getting updates, displaying package information etc.), until the following error message appears: "there was an unkown error..." etc, and then this: E: https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian stable InRelease is not (yet) available (Could not wait for server fd - select (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [IP: 104.26.4.35 443]) The problem probably cannot be reproduced outside of countries with such restrictions, but maybe something can be done about it?

That seems entirely expected. It is how network timeouts work.
Yes, I know that, and that by itself is not the problem. But why would it prevent package info being displayed if the package is in another repo that's reachable?
In apt, cache updates happen in one step. If something holds up that step then the cache update as a whole gets held up
