Bingo.

I'd left gparted running after doing something to something a few days ago, and 
stopping it made apt work again.  Now the question becomes: What makes the web 
server fail going to just one of eleventy million sites when gparted is 
running?  I'm not interested enough to try to understand the 
gparted/kernel/Firefox/HTML source, but a maintainer might more interested than 
a mere user.

Thanks to all who answered.

It's not ".mount".  It's "-.mount".  Specifically, it's a
systemd.mount(5) unit created to represent the root (/) file system.
The / is converted to a - in the unit name.

I see this error reported on a pretty regular basis, but there isn't
a single cause for it.  I've heard of *several* different possible
sources.

> It happens only when I 'apt update'

That rings a bell, but I don't remember the precise details.  Are you
a synaptic user, by chance?  It might be a synaptic thing, either because
synaptic is currently running, or because it broke something.

Or... it could be something entirely different.  I believe I've also heard
of this problem being triggered by gparted.  Have you used gparted in
the last few days?

If you can't find an answer with Google, try the standard troubleshooting
steps.  Read the logs, check the status of everything, etc.

systemctl status -- -.mountwould be a good starting point.  Mine
says:

unicorn:~$ systemctl status -- -.mount
● -.mount - Root Mount
 Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; generated)
 Active: active (mounted) since Fri 2022-02-04 07:12:29 EST; 2 weeks 0 days>
  Where: /
   What: /dev/sda7
   Docs: man:fstab(5)
 man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)

Warning: some journal files were not opened due to insufficient permissions.

Of course, running it as root would give additional details.

Does anybody know what:

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is masked

means?  What is '.mount' and what does 'masked' mean?

I looked on the web and found a discussion involving something called 
"zynthian."  My log repeats the sentence several times -- from syslog and 
daemon.

It happens only when I 'apt update' -- I get to all other websites with no 
trouble (including Debian).  When I ssh to the computers on my LAN in the next 
room, they both get to the mirrors (one Debian, the other is RaspberryPi).  All 
my computers are running an updated Buster.

All was working until a few days ago.

The web browser is Firefox-esr.

Unknown error message in exim

2000-05-09 Thread Paul McHale
Hi,

Has anyone ever seen an error message like this in exim:

1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp: SMTP error
  from remote mailer after RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  host mail-intake-1.iname.net [165.251.8.194]: 522 [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
  User over hourly mail quota

Possibly related, I have the following line in exim.conf:

relay_domains_include_local_mx = true

I think this is redundant as I also have the following line for the domain I
want to relay for:

relay_domains = friendsdomain.com:*.friendsdomain.com

Should I remove the relay_domains_include_local_mx?  Is the error indicating
Spam?  Would removing the second line alleviate this?

Thanks for the help,

Paul

That allows anyone who controls DNS for their domain to use you as a
backup MX.  It won't let people relay from there to random hosts.

 want to relay for:

 relay_domains = friendsdomain.com:*.friendsdomain.com

Yes - the explicit list is safer and renders the include_local_mx
redundant.

 Spam?  Would removing the second line alleviate this?

It is probably the result of a spam (I've been seeing a number of mail
rejects with that sender) but to see what might have stopped it getting
in you'd need to look at where it came from.  The error is a perfectly
reasonable one and could have been generated by completely legitimate
mail from your site.
