Hello folks,

I received this error:

When I have encountered that error, it is usually due to network connectivity issues. What is the output of "ping security.ubuntu.com"?

Hello,

My network it was good! I resolve this error changed the source.list to origin eng or br, just like this:



git@headlessgit:~$ egrep -v '^(#|$)' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial multiverse
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates multiverse
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://eng.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse
grep: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*: No such file or directory


Supposedly the sources with origins pt don't works well. Why this happen? My solutions it was the best solutions?

[UPDATE]
This domain don't exist. But the domain ubuntu.com exist! And I tested to did ping to this address!

Thanks
