Apt-get update - Temporary failure resolving

ivanh

Hi guys, trying to apt-get update but its returning Temporary failure resolving ...

my /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8

my /etc/apt/source.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

Debian 7, IPs are pingable, domains ain't.

Anyone have any suggesting to fix this issue?

Is the port for DNS resolution opened in your firewall?

Try:

echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220" > /etc/resolv.conf;
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf;
echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" >> /etc/resolv.conf;
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf;

Google may not be responding, seen it before. I usually throw 4.2.2.4 at the end, but since they screw with NXDOMAIN responses, not including.
