When I enter this in the terminal window " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get 
upgrade "  ( no quotes of course )  It searches for the update packages but 
then returns the below message:

W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-
backports/universe/i18n/Translation-en  Something wicked happened
resolving 'ca.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with
hostname)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

I get a similar message when I use the GUI update manager as well.

I have no problem with my internet connection or my net work, as I am reporting 
this bug now.
Hopefully this problem can be resolved so I can update the security features 
and get other important system updates.
