Unable to resolve server for apt-get
When trying to update or install a package from apt-get i get.
Err http://security.ubuntu.com trusty-security Release.gpg
Could not resolve ‘security.ubuntu.com’
Err http://mirrors.digitalocean.com trusty Release.gpg
Could not resolve 'mirrors.digitalocean.com’
When i use dig it says there are no errors but it seems to ignore the first 2 nameservers (which I’m guessing are digitaloceans?) listed in /etc/resolv.conf and default to google dns. However ping says unknown host . I have had this sort of thing happen before when raspibian changed their repository servers.
