Public bug reported: Binary package hint: whois
I'm speculating the "Connection refused" means the server name in whois is wrong. There is a whois server at whois.aeda.net.ae which appears authoritative. They offer a web lookup at http://whois.aeda.net.ae/ as well. ubu...@ubuntu$ whois example.ae connect: Connection refused ubu...@ubuntu$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 ubu...@ubuntu$ apt-cache policy whois whois: Installed: 4.7.34ubuntu2 Candidate: 4.7.34ubuntu2 Version table: *** 4.7.34ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.-com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: whois (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Incorrect server for .ae https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491791 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to whois in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
