A DNS (Domain Name System) resolution issue typically appears by the error message could not resolve ‘cdn-aws.archive.debian.org’. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your issues.

How to Fix “could not resolve ‘cdn-aws.archive.debian.org’?”

In order to connect to the Debian archive server, the domain name “cdn-aws.archive.debian.org” needs to be translated into an IP address. If we see this error, that means the system is unable to do so. Some of the causes for the error include:

1. The DNS settings of the system can be difficult, making it unable to resolve domain names.

2. It’s possible that the system is having issues with network connectivity, which keeps it from getting to the DNS server.

We can try the below steps to fix the error:

1. Verify the network connection:

Verify that the internet connection on the system is operational. To confirm connectivity, try pinging other servers.

2. Setting up DNS:

Check the system’s DNS setup. So, to troubleshoot DNS resolution, check the DNS server settings in the network configuration files or use a program like resolvconf or systemd-resolve.

3. Short-Term DNS Problems:

DNS resolution problems can occasionally be transient. We can fix the issue by waiting a little while or trying the procedure once more.

4. Employ Various DNS Servers:

Try using a new set of DNS servers (such as Google DNS or OpenDNS) if the system is set up to use certain ones to see whether that fixes the problem.
