Hi all, 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'
And here is my sources.list, which has hitherto worked ok. Could I have set something somewhere on my box that doesn't allow ftp or anything?
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r2 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20001207)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib deb ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/debian/non-US stable/non-US main contrib deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
Any pointers welcomed! Thanks, Jenny.

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?

Hi Jen, Assuming you have a live internet connection at the time : Are your DNS Settings correct ? (try a ping or dnslookup on any of the sites listed and see what happens). See how this goes or if any others have ideas, if nothing comes I will look again tonite from home (are you using your uklinux account). It certainly seems that it is your networking settings and not apt itself which is at fault. (STATE-THE-OBVIOUS TM) Cheers Earl
