I am stuck because of this.

Following is my /etc/apt/sources.list file

#deb ftp.osuosl.org :: Oregon State University Open Source Lab stable main contrib non-free

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

no replies......I hope this problem is not that serious....

[devils casper]

Execute this

su -
apt-get clean all
apt-get update

Release Temporary failure resolving 'ftp.us.debian.org'

that could be a problem, is your network working?

[sathiya]

is your nameserver is UP and running and in network...

what is the /etc/resolv.conf content ???

[John A]

This is definitely a network-related issue. If you're on a wireless connection, it often helps to reconnect to the network and refresh your IP address (assuming it's dynamic). Make sure that you can successfully ping debian.org before trying to mess around with apt-get.

Execute this

su -
apt-get clean all
apt-get update
