Everything was fine for me when I did a from_scratch install of 10.04 till I tried to install a package called gorm.app and on including any of its debian mirrors (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/gorm.app/download) in the /etc/apt/sources.list, I started getting this dreaded "Something wicked happened...(-5 - No address associated with hostname) " error.
The errors seem to be of two types: First Type: if I use any of the mirror urls like: www.anheng.com.cn/debian and have this line in my sources.list: deb http://www.anheng.com.cn/debian squeeze main Then I see the following error message: Get:3 http://www.anheng.com.cn squeeze/main Packages [6,462kB] Ign http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/archive.ubuntu.com/ lucid/restricted Translation-en_IN Err http://archive.canonical.com lucid Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) Second Type: if I use any of the mirror urls like: mirror.optus.net/debian and have this line in my sources.list: deb http://mirror.optus.net/debian squeeze main Then I see the following error message: Err http://mirror.optus.net squeeze Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'mirror.optus.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) Ign http://mirror.optus.net/debian/ squeeze/main Translation-en_IN Get:2 http://mirror.optus.net squeeze Release [89.5kB] Get:3 http://mirror.optus.net squeeze/main Packages [6,462kB] Fetched 6,551kB in 3min 49s (28.5kB/s) W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.optus.net/debian/dists/squeeze/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'mirror.optus.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) And if I remove this " deb http://mirror.optus.net/debian squeeze main" line OR " deb http://www.anheng.com.cn/debian squeeze main" (I keep only one of them at a time in the sources.list) from my sources.list, and then do an "apt-get update" then everything goes fine. But then I cant install gorm.app. -- Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
