Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt

If I update the apt indices either in Synaptic Package Manager, Update Manager or from the command line, it fails to download a random selection of indexes (from 0 to 3, usually). The errors look like this:

W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

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

It is usually about two that fail, though sometimes more, and sometimes none. I just have a wireless router attached to a cable modem, standard home broadband. If I run 'update' a couple times, it will get everything. Apt has no problem downloading or installing packages. I can run 'ping' against these servers with zero packet loss.

If I do a single update with errors and then try to install packages, sometimes it warns me that packages are unsigned.

Originally, I had upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10, so to make sure it wasn't an upgrade problem, I backed up my personal files, and installed 10.04 from scratch. The problem persisted with the default Ubuntu 10.04 install.

My laptop is a Compaq CQ60 215dx.

I can also confirm that here in the UK the problem exists as well.

I also checked each site link in a web browser and I can get to these web sites.
I also checked my etc/hosts file and this was correctly populated.

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?

If you have a router/modem thing, look in its config, however you do it with your model. Do you have uncanceled echo?

Trying to find a common link here.

I've found a solution. A real one.

It seems that it's a problem with Network Manager. People who have routers with gateways will make Network Manager incorrectly set the DNS to the router's internal address. This only works if everything is set to automatic. 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.

Craig100,

You are using OpenDNS, yes? Your secondary DNS IP is incorrect, it's not 208.68.220.220, it's 208.67.220.220.

See OpenDNS's homepage, http://www.opendns.com/ . At the bottom there, is their nameservers.

faortiz,

This sounds like a totally different issue there, ignoring repositories. In this bug, apt doesn't ignore them but has difficulty resolving them.

Also, it seems you've dist-upgraded from Karmic to Lucid...this is most likely a factor. Try a fresh install of Lucid.

Everything was fine for me when I did a from_scratch install of 10.04 till I tried to install a package called gorm.app and on including any of its debian mirrors (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/gorm.app/download) in the /etc/apt/sources.list, I started getting this dreaded "Something wicked happened...(-5 - No address associated with hostname) " error.

The errors seem to be of two types:
First Type:
if I use any of the mirror urls like: www.anheng.com.cn/debian
and have this line in my sources.list: deb http://www.anheng.com.cn/debian squeeze main
Then I see the following error message:

Second Type:
if I use any of the mirror urls like: mirror.optus.net/debian
and have this line in my sources.list: deb http://mirror.optus.net/debian squeeze main
Then I see the following error message:

And if I remove this " deb http://mirror.optus.net/debian squeeze main" line OR " deb http://www.anheng.com.cn/debian squeeze main" (I keep only one of them at a time in the sources.list) from my sources.list, and then do an "apt-get update" then everything goes fine. But then I cant install gorm.app.

OK.. found a workaround.. but not a really good one...
turns out that this error was related to my using a Router... and when I disconnected the router and hooked my comp straight to the modem, the problem of "-5 - No address associated with hostname" was resolved. Probably others can try the same too to see if it helps...

On looking further, I found that someone else has stumbled upon this too... (though the workaround proposed there looks to be more complete.. but I have not yet tried it).. see post #17 below:

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

I have a laptop with a 32-bit AMD Sempron processor that I wiped and did a full, fresh install of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

I have added some 3rd party repositories in my /etc/apt/sources.d/ directory.

I am on a home wireless network 802.11g with WPA2 + PSK. My router is a 2Wire Residential Gateway device that acts as DSL modem, wireless router, firewall, and is also where our AT&T U-Verse television comes in the house.

I do not have a proxy server.

By default, Ubuntu was using the RG itself as the DNS server which is supposed to work just fine. It does work in almost all cases. It doesn't work for apt-get for some reason. I was able to log on to my RG's web interface and get the DNS servers that it was using. I then setup my network connection to use those instead.

That fixed it.

But, why is this necessary?

Also, LTS? I think you've found a new scenario to add to your QA testing.

Hi Jason,

I have the same scenario - AT&T 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, AT&T'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.

Mike

There used to be a special advanced config area you could get to by
doing to /mdc (or something like that) that let you change more
settings, but it wasn't available there either.

Since my RG has been updated (automatically) from the 5.x series of
code to the 6.x series, even that is no longer available.

There may be other hidden settings, but I'm sure that won't be
supported by AT&T.

You'd have to host your own router on the other side of the 2Wire RG
and have it do the DNS the way you want it. That was too much trouble
for me, so I just use that AT&T gives me.

I had no idea that there were DNS latency problems like that. I've
never done any testing.

Jason,

I know /mdc disappeared for a while but now it's back. My gateway
runs version 6.1.9.24-enh.tm and I can get to /mdc. But it's more like a
detailed list of setting than actual configuration page.

If you want to test your AT&T's DNS servers you can use this tool:
http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm
It's free but Windoze only :-(
Unfortunately I did not find any Linux alternative as simple and nice as
this one.

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

A DNS tester for Linux would be here http://swmirror.org/drupal/node/92 . It just uses a big text file of 10,000 domains and looks them up rapid-fire, and averages the times. There's a pre-compiled binary in that zip. Might need dependencies though.

I was having this issue after switching from manually specifying my DNS sever in Network Manager to having it obtain the DNS address from my Belkin wireless router. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. The fix for me was to switch back to manually specifying the DNS servers in Network Manager, as suggested in comment #18 above. If you're not sure of your DNS server, you can either look on your router's config page or use Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Maybe I don't have the same problem after all, but all of my error messages
were due to PPAs. I deleted those PPAs, and redownloaded them, making sure
to get the GPG key for each, and that solved the problem for me. This bug
is incredibly annoying. Best of luck to everyone.

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

In my case I was getting the "No address associated with hostname" error on core packages, and it was occurring randomly, or random packages would trigger that error on each apt-get update attempt, then a different random set of packages would fail on the next try.

My symptoms definitely sound like APT is configured with a too short timeout period.

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.

I resolved this by adding the google public nameservers to the resolv.conf right after the two name servers from work and rebooting:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Hope this helps!

I have experienced this "wicked" behaviour when setting up firewall rules on a machine connecting to the Internet through a DSL modem. I believe that I have found a fix but I'm not completely certain.

The following conditions apply:

Clean install of Ubuntu 10.10
FreeNX installed per instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
Guarddog 2.6.0 installed

The following seems to have fixed it for now:

Allow http(s) served from the internet zone to local zone (required by apt-get.)
Allow DNS served from the internet zone to the local zone (for remote DNS server.)
Allow DNS served from the intranet zone (192.168.1.0/24) to local zone (for the DSL modem's DNS server.)
Allow SSH served from the local zone to the intranet zone (for FreeNX.)
Enable DHCP on local Ethernet adapter.

HOWEVER for some reason it showed an uptime of 9 days, so I manually rebooted it. Now all seems fine.

It would be nice if the "something wicked" error were a bit more helpful, but on MY humble network, I think this means it's probably about time to buy a new router....

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?

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.

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.

I can appreciate that you feel I am not someone serious.
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.

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. Then you know the cause of the problem.

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.

@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.
