There seems to be something else going on when I call apt, but I can't place my finger on it... The thing is I get an *instant* no resolve error with apt. It doesn't seem to be timing out. I've tried running apt-cache clean, no joy. Perhaps a cache is not clearing, and lookups are going to the cache? Tried running apt with Acquire::http::No-Cache "true"; No luck. > It was enormously frustrating. Heh.

I'm seeing almost exactly the same thing in Fedora 11, and we're working on that one in those lists. I think the local isp here has broken servers, causing all the grief. The problem seems to be a local one, and a couple golf partners have reported the same thing. > IMO -- my entirely unscientific uninformed opinion, I stress -- there's > something funky about Debian's networking stack. Yeah, but Debian's good at it. I've generally been able to solve networking problems on Debian systems more rapidly than with others. I'll try disabling v6 entirely and see what happens ;-) -- Cheers
