Title:
APT gives unclear error message: "something wicked happened" when
hostname of archive cannot be found
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Triaged
Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When something wicked happens when trying to download packages, this
is the error message one gets:
"something wicked happened resolving 'dk.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5
- No address associated with hostname)"
This error message does not say anything about whether the error is
local (ie. something the user has any chance to do anything about) or
related to other things (is the host server down? Or is the DNS-server
failing to do its deed?)
Generally, the text isn't very newbie friendly
