Title:
Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
If I update the apt indices either in Synaptic Package Manager, Update
Manager or from the command line, it fails to download a random
selection of indexes (from 0 to 3, usually). The errors look like
this:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-
security/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving
'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
W: Failed to fetch
http://archive.canonical.com/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Something wicked
happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address
associated with hostname)
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
It is usually about two that fail, though sometimes more, and
sometimes none. I just have a wireless router attached to a cable
modem, standard home broadband. If I run 'update' a couple times, it
will get everything. Apt has no problem downloading or installing
packages. I can run 'ping' against these servers with zero packet
loss.
If I do a single update with errors and then try to install packages,
sometimes it warns me that packages are unsigned.
Originally, I had upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10, so to make sure it wasn't
an upgrade problem, I backed up my personal files, and installed 10.04
from scratch. The problem persisted with the default Ubuntu 10.04
install.
My laptop is a Compaq CQ60 215dx.
