Checklist

• I'm running the newest version of HACS https://github.com/hacs/integration/releases/latest
• I have enabled debug logging for my installation.
• I have filled out the issue template to the best of my ability.
• I have read https://hacs.xyz/docs/issues
• This issue is related to the backend (integration part) of HACS.
• This issue only contains 1 issue (if you have multiple issues, open one issue for each issue).
• This issue is not a duplicate issue of currently open or issues pending release.

Describe the issue

After a restart of HA, something's blocking the start up with the error shown in the logs, specifically The system is waiting for tasks: {<Task pending name='Task-2116' coro=<HacsBase.startup_tasks() running at /config/custom_components/hacs/base.py:687> wait_for=<_GatheringFuture pending cb=[Task.task_wakeup()]> cb=[set.remove()]>}. The line number changes from user to user, but is in the same +/- 10 lines.

A little investigation shows, that the majority of users with this error have a warning line regarding HACS. There are some people, where the warning reads with specific integrations and it could be fixed by the authors of these integrations.

@bdraco already fixed one of these errors, for other integrations there are issues opened, see here:

Fixed error: home-assistant/core#117331
Open issue 1: home-assistant/core#117256
Open issue 2: home-assistant/core#117194

Reproduction steps

1. Restart HA

Make sure you have read the issue guidelines and that you filled out the entire template.

If you have an issue identical to this, do not add comments like "same here", "i have this too", instead add a 👍 reaction to the issue description. Thanks! 👍

Looks like you are having some network issues.
Try disabling IPv6 and reboot the host.

[Paddy0174]

That's unfortunate, because i can't disable (supervisor won't let me) IPv6. Seems like I'll have to live with it.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

[oywino]

Thi is not an IPv6 related issue. I run HA Core in a container on a NAS and IPv6 is completely disabled. Still I have the same issue.

[ludeeus]

If it's not IPv6, then it is something other network-related.
Or you have something blocking too much, >60s for a single file download is not normal.
Also, from the lineshifts here, it more look like HACS is a side effect not the cause (like with google assistant, but as that is core and this is not it was only considered there).
When you fix/remove what is blocking/limiting/hindering your network requests, this will most likely be resolved everywhere.

On the off chance it continues once that is fixed, recreate this issue with updated (unfiltered) logs from the entire startup, and the system health details.

Maybe this can be of any help;
I noticed that a following error has resulted in almost all integrations update entities are now unavailable:
