Can't install aur packages

Hi everyone, for a few days now, i’m having difficult installing aur packages, i need to try up to 3 times to finally install a application, if i manage to at all

Hi @Decagrammaton. It will help us, if when you share output such as this, you copy and paste the text in as a code block, rather than using a screenshot. Eg:

```
Bunch of text goes here

Now the issue there appears to be DNS related. The error is:

0curl: (6) Could not resolve host: github.com

What is the output of:

nslookup github.com

An additional test. The file it’s trying to download there is:
https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/archive/v5.1.1.tar.gz

That link works for me. Does it work for you?

If it works in the browser, you might try again, but using curl, which is what the package is failing with:

curl -O https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/archive/v5.1.1.tar.gz

Are you in a region where github is blocked?

If not, you may have been experience an intermittent network issue or a problem with DNS.

the output of nslookup is : Server: …
Address: …

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: github.com
Address: 20.201.28.151
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; communications error to 192.168.1.254#53: timed out
;; no servers could be reached

and that’s really weird, i can use git freely in firefox

nah, github ain’t blocked where i live

This looks like a DNS server on your local network. It is your router or a pihole or something? Could be a problem there.

By default, Firefox doesn’t use your local DNS, it uses the servers specified in your settings over an encrypted connection.

It may well be as simple as rebooting the router device :0
