Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg (http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-security/Release.gpg)

Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.Why am I getting this error when I click the Synaptic Reload button? How can I resolve this problem?

Is it happening with only one repository or all of them? In order to let us know, from Applications > Accessories > Terminal, post the complete output of this command.


sudo apt-get update
