Yeah, if your 3rd party PPAs have outdated urls then you'd probably get a similar error message.
In my case I was getting the "No address associated with hostname" error on core packages, and it was occurring randomly, or random packages would trigger that error on each apt-get update attempt, then a different random set of packages would fail on the next try. My symptoms definitely sound like APT is configured with a too short timeout period. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
