RESOLVED Apt update and OSMC update errors

Hi, on my Vero 4k, using ‘My OSMC’ to update I get an error (June update is installed).
So I did SSH into the Vero 4k and did try to update via ‘apt’ and did get this:

root@osmc:/home/osmc# apt update
Ign:2 …security.debian.org stretch/updates InRelease
Ign:3 …ftp.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:4 …ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-updates InRelease
Hit:5 …ftp.debian.org/debian stretch Release
Hit:1 …ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/apt stretch InRelease
Err:6 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates Release
Something wicked happened resolving ‘security.debian.org:http’ (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Reading package lists… Done
E: The repository ‘http://security.debian.org stretch/updates Release’ does no longer have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Listing of /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb …ftp.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free

deb …ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main contrib non-free

deb …security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

deb …apt.osmc.tv stretch main

It looks fine to me, but it gives an error every time…
(I did exchange ‘http(s)://’ with ‘…’ to be able to post).

Regards,
Gerard.

Hi,

I’m having no issues here with security.debian.org here, please try temporarily changing dns servers used (try 8.8.8.8 for example.)

and try issuing sudo apt-get update.

I think MyOSMC update will show an error if there are no osmc packages to update, so being as you are on the june; I think this is to be expected. I’m just slightly concerned you are not getting security updates from debian.

Thanks Tom.

Hi Tom,

my provider has some issues so it seems. A few hours later the DNS problems seemed to be ‘all over the net’, but it isn’t really the case there are time-outs in my connection, resulting in dns errors, pages not loading in time and so on.

To this forum it is a resolved problem.

Thanks.

Gerard.
