apt-get failing



Hello,

I am trying to install some new software as well as updating my
packages but apt-get install and apt-get update both fail. apt-get
update fails with:

Err http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release.gpg
Temporary failure resolving âsecurity.debian.orgâ

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

When I do a apt-get check, I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done

packages.dotdeb.org_dists_stable_all_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2
No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

My /apt/sources.list file is as follows:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

I am able to ping external websites using both ip and name, The server
itself is running and functioning properly but this problem is really
worrying as a client needs to install php5-curl and I am unable to do
this as a result of the above problems.

Any help will be most appreciated.
