 Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2023 2:44 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Portage/git can't resolve github.com |
 |
|
I have no clue what happened, but one of my machines can't access github.com. This machine works headlessly and wasn't updated for about mount. Meanwhile I had Internet breakdown in my house, after calling ISP they said that they can't access antenna on our roof. They arrived and did something to roof's antenna, factory restarted router upstairs (they didn't touch my router connected to router upstairs) and Internet is back. But, since then one of my machines have problem with accessing github.com:
| Code: | nas ~ # emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin --depth 1
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
!!! git fetch error in /var/db/repos/gentoo
Action: sync for repo: gentoo, returned code = 128 |
| Code: | nas ~ # emerge -1 yt-dlp
Calculating dependencies... done!

Ping is still working:

Change to the portage user, su -s /bin/bash - portage, then try to ping. Does ping still work?
Edit: clarified

Same:
| Code: | portage@nas ~ $ emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/var/db/repos/gentoo'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin --depth 1
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
!!! git fetch error in /var/db/repos/gentoo

Does it happen with git on its own?
e.g. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.git
And if it does, it happen with curl too? (git uses curl), e.g. curl https://github.com/ >/dev/null
(all fine for me including with portage ftr, albeit there could be some factors like curl version or maybe USE on curl given it has different implementations to handle dns -- but feels unlikely). |

Git doesn't work with https, but works with ssh:
| Code: | nas ~ # git clone https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git --depth=1
Cloning into 'gentoo'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
nas ~ # git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.git --depth=1
Cloning into 'mesa'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.git/': Could not resolve host: gitlab.freedesktop.org
nas ~ # git clone git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:mesa/mesa.git --depth=1
Cloning into 'mesa'...
git@gitlab.freedesktop.org: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists. |
Curl doesn't work:
| Code: | nas ~ # curl https://github.com/ > /dev/null
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:01:14 --:--:-- 0curl: (6) Could not resolve host: github.com |
I compared USE flags with my other machine and they look same (except for abi_x86_32):
| Code: | lekto@nas ~ $ equery uses curl
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]

USE look pretty default so nothing of note there I guess. fwiw could try updating curl, curl-8.2.1 was stabilized earlier -- albeit 8.1.2 works for me too (Edit: and I do have adns enabled, not that trying without would hurt to narrow down the issue).
Does this happen with any https:// links? Maybe something up with openssl, albeit failing to resolve hosts doesn't quite add up with that unless error is being misleading...

| Try disabling the adns USE on net-misc/curl. I've seen similar errors in the past and this is a quick workaround. |

That fixed it, but why? |

Thanks for this, since this has also solved my curl from not working too, but I would also like an explanation on why is this the case. |

Another post points to a suggestion that c-ares can have a hard time with some /etc/hosts file layouts.
Simple ones are usually fine, but more complex and very large ones can confuse it. |

My /etc/hosts is simple, just two lines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost |

| Without more detail about how the affected systems fail, it is difficult to offer more than general speculation about the cause. If you are curious why it failed, I suggest you reproduce it, post a new thread, and provide the versions and full output of the failure. Additionally, be prepared to apply debugging suggestions to try to isolate the cause. |

Maybe it is an ipv6 issue ? You can verify it by using the ipv4 address instead the hast name in https://.... |

The "cannot resolve github.com" when cloning a repository (a simple user) is a separate issue, it can be solved by:
| Code: | git config --global --unset http.proxy
git config --global --unset https.proxy
|
Even if you are not using a proxy. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20370294/git-could-not-resolve-host-github-com-error-while-cloning-remote-repository-in
I also can confirm on my side that the "cannot revolve github.com" by the gentoo tools (in root account) is solved by:
| Code: | USE="-adns" emerge net-misc/curl
|
Before that, I was getting these errors:
| Code: | emaint sync -A
>>> Syncing repository 'stuff' into '/var/lib/layman/stuff'...
/usr/bin/git fetch origin
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/istitov/stuff.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
