When I try to do an update on my apt-get repositories, this is what I
get:
$ sudo apt-get update
sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname()
and when I click on Synaptic this is the error message that pops up:
Su returned with an error
Rebooting doesn't fix it, nor using other applications and seeing if its
fixed, for instance the same message pops up when I use aptitude and
not apt-get.
Something's happened along the way to change things (permissions or
corruption) but I don't know exactly what.
Anyone know how to deal with this, and is reinstallation the only way?
