Your first problem might just be whatever name server you use, it might have been having problems when you tried aptitude, but not when you tried a browser. I recently switched to using unbound for the first time, and I get that several times a day now. deb.devuan.org is a DNS round robin, it'll hand out a different IP from our collection of package mirrors. So the first thing you should do when telling us about problems with it is which IP you got out of it at the time. Unfortunately, neither aptitude nor firefox told me the IP number they were using. Maybe it would be useful if aptitude would do that on this kind of error. -- hendrik A temporary failure resolving a domain name means that you didn't *resolve* it to an IP address. That means your DNS server cannot either be reached or is in error. If the remote server cannot be reached, because it's down, then it'll tell you so. So the problem here is between you and your DNS, not between you and Devuan's round robin. Without more information, I can only speculate. Could be hardware related, a full routing table, your ISP being evil. Who knows? When that happens, quickly troubleshoot with: dig deb.devuan.org or host deb.devuan.org dig will tell you which DNS server you default to.

What I did do when it happened was to use the browser to go to debian's package pool, download the same verion of the same package, and install it directly using dpkg. I figured uudecode (the command I was looking for) wouldn't need to be changed for devuan. And it wasn't in a tangle of dependencies, so in this instance, it worked. -- hendrik > > I wrote apt-panopticon to monitor and test lots of things about our > package mirrors, useful for the first place to look.

[DNG] Unable to access pool in repository
I tried installing sharutils using aptitude, and was unable to. aptitude told me: Temporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org' and later: E: Failed to fetch http://deb.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/s/sharutils/sharutils_4.15.2 -5_amd64.deb: Temporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org' In the browser, I had no problem at all reaching http://deb.devuan.org but http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ did not contain pool: Index of /merged NameLast modified Size Parent Directory - dists/ 2022-05-14 11:06- What gives? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
