In this strace I am not able to see any _obvious_ cause for your error (such as strange preloaded libraries which can change the standard glibc behavoiur). However, grep "/etc/\|/lib/\|/usr/\|/var/" apt-get.log shows many files which "apt-get update" uses. Did you restore procedure change any of these files? In the file, one sees _many_ "unfinished", "Bad file descriptor" and "Resource temporarily unavailable" messages. I do not like them, but I cannot see the cause of them. (The various "No such file or directory" are not a problem in theis specific case) The attempt for the resolution of names seems correct (and this was expected, given the "getent hosts" results in your previous messages): after the first lines "URI: http:" one sees /etc/nsswitch.conf (many accesses to libraries) /etc/services /var/run/nscd/socket (is nscd running? if it is, do you really need it?) /etc/resolv.conf (with nameserver 64.105.189.27) /etc/hosts but then URI Failure\nURI: http: Is there any special firewall rule (on the host itself, or on some router)? For example a rate limiting of udp port 53 o a block of tcp port 53 ? These can cause strange and intermittent name resolution problems.

I hope that my superficial and elementary analysis (see above) give you an idea of what you can obtain by reading the strace logs (even if in this specific case I was not able to obtain very much) -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
