$ host in.archive.gnewsense.org in.archive.gnewsense.org is an alias for us.archive.gnewsense.org. us.archive.gnewsense.org has address 199.232.41.84 $ host 1.0.0.0 Host 0.0.0.1.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Do you see the problem, and why a DNS solution was suggested? Alternatively, as a test, try substituting the IP address 199.232.41.84 in your /etc/apt/sources.list for "in.archive.gnewsense.org" and see if that works. For instance, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (use "Search -Replace" to replace in.archive.gnewsense.org with 199.232.41.84 ) sudo apt-get update I have no idea why your system thinks in.archive.gnewsense.org has an IP address of 1.0.0.0 - the above solution should work as long as the IP remains as it currently is, but there's definitely something very odd about DNS returning 1.0.0.0 like that ....
