[Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
I have been experimenting with the transparent HTTP proxy on my Watchguard XTM firewalls. The HTTP proxy was catching the update requests over HTTP because they had no content_type. I added the following domain exceptions to resolve this: archive.canonical.com, *.ubuntu.com, ppa.launchpad.net, linux.dropbox.com. After this, my signature issues went away and the HTTP proxy remains. I could also have simply turned off checking for the lack of content type, but I'm trying to learn how to work with this thing.

I'm having this problem with 12.04, which has been running and updating quite happily for several months.

@up Yeah, that's basically the solution which has been suggested here for, like, 2 years? The problem with the fact this solution works it is that it only proves that the issue is external, that it's your router's built-in DNS server's fault - it's flooded with so many requests coming all at once. Apt might possibly implement a fallback mechanism of some sort, like detecting such a situation and polling the servers in sequence, but, well, I guess it's of low priority. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.

[Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
My goal is to check whether it works for the affected people in a minimal environment. If it does, it is a misconfigured system. If it doesn't, then it is either network or bug. If it is a bug, we need to find out when it broke and when it was fixed. As soon as graphical frontends enter the picture, things become more complex. Once you have seen that a minimal environment works, change it to become more like your environment until the problem arises.

Re: [Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
Still apt shouldn't choke because 3rd party repos make it unable to access the main Ubuntu repos, and subsequently complain with inaccurate error messages about the URLs it thinks it cannot access. I agree. My experience with this issue suggests that my crappy internet connection is causing apt to time out when it can't reach the repos quickly enough. But even if my connection is to blame, apt should be more resilient. Maybe by simply retrying a couple of times. With regard to GUIs, I experience this issue in the CLI as well as in Synaptic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
All comments in the bug indicate one of the following: (a) bug in libc and fixed now (b) temporary network issues (c) misconfiguration I'm not sure that my comment indicates one of those. At no point did any comment indicate a bug in APT. Unless you can show that sudo debootstrap natty natty; sudo chroot natty apt-get update (and then bisect for maverick, lucid) does not work, please do not comment further on this issue. Or try reproducing it with a chroot of your own release instead of natty and see if it works, thus ruling out (c). This did not occur in natty (was it fixed there?) This is also not an end user use case. I shouldn't have to chroot anything to recreate a bug. This bug turned into a network setup support channel, which is not the intention of bugs. Oh I agree, and that is what is so frustrating trying to find a workaround or fix for this issue. Almost every thread I find on this issue digresses into router configurations, DNS, NAT, etc etc which is not the issue here. My network configuration is correct. The URLs apt complains about can be accessed as seen in my wget example above. I do not want to hear anything about clicking anything, That's unfortunate. I am trying to transition from an rpm based linux distribution to Ubuntu so I am unfamiliar with much of how apt works. The workaround I posted above with UI steps for removing 3rd party repositories from apt was intended to help users affected with this same issue. Based on your comments I will assume you are very familiar with the Ubuntu / synaptic / apt framework. You should then be able to understand what these use case steps through the UI do at a lower level to the apt configuration. And that might possibly help you to understand why removing 3rd party repositories through the UI steps I outline above would workaround the issues seen both through the GUI and through the apt CLI. I posted here only hoping that it might help others experiencing the same issues with 3rd party repos and the misleading error messages indicating that apt cannot download from URLs (not from the 3rd party repos) which clearly can be resolved and accessed. whether $RANDOM programs work, or which networks are used. Unless someone serious can reproduce the bug in a clean natty environment, there is no bug. I can appreciate that you feel I am not someone serious.

[Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
Sorry but this is not invalid. This is a bug. For everyone who is having network issues, DNS, NAT, http proxy, etc. etc. then the error message is correct. However there is something else going on here which affects users with correct network settings. You can confirm this is not a network problem by using wget to directly access the URLs for which apt-get cannot download release info. E.g. wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg This will succeed, while sudo apt-get update complains about the same URL. I have seen this in Ubuntu 10.04 and probably other releases. (Maybe 9.x and 10.10 ?) This is somehow related to third party repositories. The only workaround I have found is to disable all Other Repositories To do this I go to System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager Then go to Settings - Repositories Go to the Other Repositories tab and uncheck everything. Then select the Close button. This will give you a message about using the Reload button. You can then do that from within the Synaptic Package Manager UI. Not sure if the Reload button is the UI equivalent, but you should now be able to run sudo apt-get update from the CLI This workaround fixes the problem but I wonder how do I know if packages from my third party repos are up to date? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574886 Title: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This happened to me today, and I believe my router was misbehaving. I'm running a WRT54GL with a recent version of DD-WRT.

[Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
I have two different slices on slicehost.com (great host!), two different domains. Ubuntu 10.04 on each. I installed Ruby enterprise edition, mysql, and lots of good stuff on both using aptitude or apt- get. All was fine in paradise. Then, I had to use a remote email system (at work) for one of the slices. This involved switching the dns to use the nameserver zones set up at work and they pointed back to the www .com pages on the slices. This was a work around, but it worked. Among other things to make the switch, I changed the resolv.conf to point to the new nameservers. Several weeks latter, i first noticed, and for weeks, the apt-get failed only on the slice I had changed giving lots of errors when trying to use aptitude update/install or apt-get update/install, but the other slice was fine. Errors as described above: Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) errors.

Maybe I don't have the same problem after all, but all of my error messages were due to PPAs.

Yeah, if your 3rd party PPAs have outdated urls then you'd probably get a similar error message.

Indeed, ATT's DNS is slow. ATT is my ISP as well, and I also have a 2wire router, however, I have DSL and not U-verse, which is cable.

First, let me say that using the suggestion in #18 about hard coding the DNS fixed the problem for me.

Re: [Bug 574886] Re: Apt has strange network errors when updating indexes.
Hi Jason, I have the same scenario - ATT U-verse and issues with APT. Issue disappeared when I manually set DNS to google's free DNS service ( 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 , pretty fast). However, I tried latest Alpha of Ubuntu 10.10 and it DOES NOT have this issue anymore! What I have noticed earlier, ATT's DNS servers are very slow. Typical query takes somewhere around 100ms. But every once in a while (about every 20th query in my case) takes about 500ms. This is very annoying even when surfing the net. average www page initiates dozens of DNS queries, which means I hit the issue with slow response pretty much every time I open a web page. I think APT doesn't handle well slow DNS responses and times out internally. Speaking of 2WIRE gateway, have you found a way how to manually change DNS directly on the box? I'd like to prefer this option over setting every laptop manually.

I too, have problems with the something wicked bug. I cannot now update/upgrade browse or receive email; I upgraded 8.04 to 10.04. As it turns out, a mistake! I have two disappointments--- 1. I believed that LTS would work out of the box was stable 2. Some of the intended help above are a bit brief for a Ubuntu USER, as distinct from a techie. I tied the one about the visudo sudoers, but with no success. I cannot write to sudoers, but keep getting extra files named .temp or .temp.1 etc. I use a router (#17 above) but even without router problem still exists. Changing the sites for updates from Australi to Main makes no difference. I would appreciate any kind soul writing either a fix or a workaround such that even a relative newcomer such as I am can understand it.

I am experiencing the same issue.

I've found a solution. A real one. It seems that it's a problem with Network Manager.

If you set the DNS manually in Network Manager, this can be fixed completely, provided you know the DNS's address, presumably from going on the router's config page and looking for it there if you haven't seen it.

Put an update on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466944 To summarize what I said so far, I have bad DSL line quality (uncanceled echo) that's making my router flip out and randomly drop the connection. This also appears to be causing this problem with apt-get update, through there is no packet loss while the router near as I can tell, and latency seems to be OK. How many people here have DSL?
