this is not an urgent problem, just a minor irritation. But I'd like to know what causes it.
When I do apt-get install for a new package (as root), apt goes to the ftp server ... and hangs on address 1.0.0.0 (DNS lookup problem?). I then have to quit, do "ftp ftp.debian.nl.org" (or whatver it is) log in and logout (as either normal user or root) without doing anything ... after this apt will connect and install without any problems. Anyone have any idea what is goin on and how I fix it? I guess I have a config problem somewhere, but no idea where. I seem to have DNS related oddities in my system (eg can ping various sites by domain name but ssh needs ip address), this may be related. If so I'd be very happy to fix them. (This is 2.4.27 kernel sarge - it's been like this since day 1) thanks as ever to the techy community out there for the help and free goodies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
