I'm having problems with apt.... I was trying to install something (apt-get install libiodbc2) and it couldn't find stuff so i ran apt-get update. . Here is a snippet from apt-get update output:
Err ftp://ftp.plig.org stable/non-free Packages Could not resolve 'ftp.plig.org' Err ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/contrib Release Could not resolve 'ftp.uk.debian.org' Err http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages Could not resolve 'security.debian.org'
Not an apt problem .... try: nslookup security.debian.org
It should fail... this is what apt is telling you: "Could not resolve 'security.debian.org'" means "I can't find the IP address for this name".
What's in your /etc/resolv.conf? Can you surf the web ok?
