Usual cause of DNS errors in case of user-mode networking is a wrong list of nameservers in _host_ /etc/resolv.conf. Verify that the nameserver listed in there _first_ is functioning - qemu will only try first. > Even more puzzlingly, mirrors.kernel.org or cdn.debian.net in place of > ftp.us.debian.org above works just fine.
