Other problem that I'm getting is if I run aptitude or dselect, I get
a time out when trying to connect to mirror.pacific.net.au. It shows
an IP address of 1.0.0.0 which would suggest to me a problem with
named, however if I ping it, all is fine.
I had this about a year ago on a debian-based system
(running plutohome.org). It turned out to be an IPv6 issue.
What the issue was, I'm not too sure, however blacklisting the IPv6
kernel module (as shown below) appeared to resolve the issue.
I know that this isn't a perfect fix, however as I don't use IPv6 at
the moment, it worked!
To blacklist the module, start a terminal session (Gnome ==
Applications > Accessories > Terminal) then type the following:
$ su -
Password: <your_ROOT_passwordhere>
# echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules.d/blacklist
# quit
$ quit
Then reboot the system.
That should work, although I don't have a system at hand to test it!
Cheers,
M.
