Hey.

Have started getting the occasional "can't download repository" error message when I start PI (1.07.06.0793) up. Am running on 64bit ubuntu (12.04) with a few things added.

It seems that my system can't resolve update.pixinsight.com but can resolve update-devel.pixinsight.com (which doesn't have any updates anyway...)

Is this problem (update.pixinsight.com) a problem specific to me?

Cheers -

Indeed, seems to be working sweet as for me now... Go figure.
