Hi,

From the output that you’ve provided us with it looks like your droplet is having general DNS trouble as it’s also unable to resolve domain names.

What is the current content of your /etc/resolv.conf file?

Can you also try pinging well known domains like google.com?

Regards,
Bobby

    Hi,

    Yes for me is the problem about DNS, in the /etc/resolv.conf file I have :

    nameserver 67.207.67.3
    nameserver 67.207.67.2

    I have error when I ping a domain.

      As a test I would recommend changing the nameservers to the Google’s public nameservers:

      nameserver 8.8.8.8
      nameserver 8.8.4.4

      Then try pinging a domain again. If this works, you should be able to run the update command.

      Let me know how it goes!

      Regards,
      Bobby

Tried changing to Google’s public nameservers but still no luck
