Hello,

I am trying to install some new software as well as updating my packages but apt-get install and apt-get update both fail. apt-get update fails with:

Err http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release.gpg   Temporary failure resolving âsecurity.debian.orgâ Err http://packages.dotdeb.org stable Release.gpg   Temporary failure resolving âpackages.dotdeb.orgâ Err http://ftp.uk.debian.org etch Release.gpg   Temporary failure resolving âftp.uk.debian.orgâ Err http://download.webmin.com sarge Release.gpg   Temporary failure resolving âdownload.webmin.comâ Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âftp.uk.debian.o Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âsecurity.deb Failed to fetch http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/sarge/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving comâ

When I do a apt-get check, I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://packages.dotdeb.org stable/
all Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/
packages.dotdeb.org_dists_stable_all_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

My /apt/sources.list file is as follows:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

I am able to ping external websites using both ip and name, The server itself is running and functioning properly but this problem is really worrying as a client needs to install php5-curl and I am unable to do this as a result of the above problems.

Do you need help?X

Any help will be most appreciated. Received on Wed Oct 31 06:36:53 2007
