Hello, I am trying to install some new software as well as updating my packages but apt-get install and apt-get update both fail. apt-get update fails with:
Err http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âsecurity.debian.orgâ Err http://packages.dotdeb.org stable Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âpackages.dotdeb.orgâ Err http://ftp.uk.debian.org etch Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âftp.uk.debian.orgâ Err http://download.webmin.com sarge Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âdownload.webmin.comâ Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âftp.uk.debian.o Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âsecurity.deb Failed to fetch http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/sarge/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving comâ Failed to fetch http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/stable/Release.gpg Temporary failure resolving âpackages.dotdeb.or Reading package lists...

Any help will be most appreciated.
