Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apticron
We have apticron installed on a VPS installation of Ubuntu 8.04 hosted by Parallels Virtuozzo. When the cron.daily tries to run, we are receiving the following error: /etc/cron.daily/apticron: RTNETLINK answers: Address family not supported by protocol Dump terminated Searching we found this bug open against Debian: "apticron: RTNETLINK answers: Address family not supported by protocol" http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463585 Following is the ifconfig from the VPS: $ ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:6385959749867950334 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7749435834484552678 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:18285740516125708965 (1495.4 PB) TX bytes:13012158753129510338 (88.3 PB) venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:127.0.0.1 P-t-P:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5466079 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7044455 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:670905552 (639.8 MB) TX bytes:7652562213 (7.1 GB) venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx P-t-P:74.208.106.99 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 Which interface venet0:0 is the IP address we know to access the server via.
