Question
Can't apt-get update, "temporary failure resolving mirrors.digitalocean.com".
Hey, I’m using a newly rebuilt Debian 9 image and I can’t successfully execute apt-get update
. I’ve seen several similar questions asked here, none helped me. I can ping to google.com or other websites, even mirrors.digitalocean.com; 8.8.8.8 is present in my /etc/resolv.conf, but still, right after having rebuilt the droplet, ssh-ed into it and changed the root password, the command doesn’t work.
Here’s the exact error message I get:
root@whatever:~# apt-get update

Err:2 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian stretch/updates InRelease
