Hi everybody! I've been quite happily running Debian GNU/Linux woody since a while. But yesterday I installed large amount of new debs (I didn't update for time reasons since july or so) and now apt-get behaves strange and I don't know why. It has worked with the same /etc/apt/apt.conf and the same /etc/apt/sources.list in the past. Has the sources.list syntax changed or why does apt-get make up so strange things like 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' or 'spidermonkey.helixcode.com/http' and wants to resolve them?
Here's what happens. I hope every information is included. If not, please ask back: vici:~# apt-get update Err http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com woody/main Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'spidermonkey.helixcode.com/http' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/main Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/main Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Err http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com woody/main Release Something wicked happend resolving 'spidermonkey.helixcode.com/http' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/main Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/main Release Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/non-free Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/non-free Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/non-free Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/non-free Release Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/contrib Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/contrib Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://non-us.debian.org woody/non-US/contrib Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Err ftp://ftp.debian.org woody/contrib Release Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Package s Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Release Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386/Pac kages Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/non-free/binary-i386/Rel ease Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/contrib/binary-i386/Pack ages Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/contrib/binary-i386/Rele ase Something wicked happend resolving 'ftp.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/main/bi nary-i386/Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/main/bi nary-i386/Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/non-fre e/binary-i386/Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/non-fre e/binary-i386/Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/contrib /binary-i386/Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/contrib /binary-i386/Release Something wicked happend resolving 'non-us.debian.org/ftp' Failed to fetch http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian/dists/woo dy/main/binary-i386/Packages Something wicked happend resolving 'spidermonkey.helixcode.com/http' Failed to fetch http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian/dists/woo dy/main/binary-i386/Release Something wicked happend resolving 'spidermonkey.helixcode.com/http' Reading Package Lists...
