But now there is a slight problem, when ever I use "sudo apt-get update", it does not work. but if I become root first, using "su", and then so the same thing, it works. I tried closing all the terminals and opening them again, didn't work. Here is the output, first in normal user and then as root. prak...@ibab-stud021:~$ sudo apt-get update Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile Release.gpg Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Translation-en_IN Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Translation-en_IN Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile Release Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] Err http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources Cannot initiate the connection to volatile.debian.org:80 (2001:858:2:2::2). - connect (101 Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:858:2:2::2 80] 23% [Connecting to http.us.debian.org (35.9.37.225)] [Connecting to security.debian.org (195.20.242.89)]^C prak...@ibab-stud021:~$ su Password: ibab-stud021:/home/prakhar# apt-get update Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org lenny Release.gpg [1033B] Get:2 http://security.debian.org lenny/updates Release.gpg [835B] Get:3 http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile Release.gpg [481B] Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/main Translation-en_IN Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/contrib Translation-en_IN Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/contrib Translation-en_IN Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/non-free Translation-en_IN Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Translation-en_IN Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/non-free Translation-en_IN Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/main Translation-en_IN Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Translation-en_IN Hit http://http.us.debian.org lenny Release Hit http://security.debian.org lenny/updates Release Hit http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile Release Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://http.us.debian.org lenny/non-free Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages/DiffIndex Hit http://http.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/contrib Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://http.us.debian.org lenny/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/non-free Packages Ign http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources/DiffIndex Hit http://http.us.debian.org lenny/non-free Packages Hit http://security.debian.org lenny/updates/main Packages Hit http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Packages Hit http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Packages Hit http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/main Sources Hit http://volatile.debian.org lenny/volatile/contrib Sources Fetched 2349B in 5s (425B/s) Reading package lists...
