Update/Upgrade fails with error...

Folks,

I get this when trying to update my pi-star from the internal web page:

Fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AndyTaylorTweet/Pi-S ... aries.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

The pi-star system is running alright so I don't believe that this is a DNS error (at least at my end). Any thoughts as to the cause? The same happened yesterday.

Regards,

Ian

I experience this once in awhile when performing a Pi-Star Update, but not with a Pi-Star Upgrade. I've also experienced this occasionally when running Raspbian updates. My guess is that it's an issue with GitHub or the Raspbian servers. When it happens, I simply let some time go by (a few hours or a day or two) and then try again, and it has always worked the second time.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/resolv.conf
will show what nameservers are reporting the DNS; the problem might lie with them.

Something was up with github earlier today, I couldn't get the page for Andy's stuff to load. It could have been that.
