Hi, I do not have any extra components in my home network, only router and my box, I to have been using approx without problem for some time. Lately my approx sometimes does not download new release or packages files and sometimes it fails to download some of the packages requested by apt. Aptitude says not found, but if I immediately retry it works for more packages.
>Please try the same "curl" commands that approx is using and let me >know if there's any more information about why they are failing. >They're in the log: >> Jul 12 15:50:47 hobo approx: Command: /usr/bin/curl --fail --silent >> --include "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release"; >> Jul 12 15:50:48 hobo approx: Command: /usr/bin/curl --fail --silent >> --include >> "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz"; >> Jul 12 15:50:48 hobo approx: Command: /usr/bin/curl --fail --silent >> --include >> "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz"; Looking at these I tried: $ curl --fail --silent --include "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release"; $ ls total 0 $ curl --include "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release"; curl: (6) Resolving host timed out: debian.osuosl.org So my name server is doing something nasty ¿?. so y *edited resolv.conf to so that the first of 3 servers was the last*. $ curl --include "http://debian.osuosl.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release"; curl: (6) Could not resolve host: debian.osuosl.org (DNS server returned answer with no data) Puzzled I tried "apt-get update" an to my surprise it worked with out a problem but i still lost a few updates when downloading. I think it might be related to #490539 #490624 that are curl bugs but approx seems affected. -- Saludos Niko
