Description

While updating the descriptors of packages the pyocd seems to be freezing.
It stacks on Downloading descriptors step.

Log:

$: pyocd pack clean
0000298 I Removing all pack data... [pack_cmd]
$: pyocd pack update
0000292 I Updating pack index... [pack_cmd]

The number of descriptor changes depending on the run. It can get stuck for tens of minutes.
