Diet Pi is working fine. Trying to do and update.
Error on update is: “Temporary failure resolving ‘[mirror.yandex.ru](http://mirror.yandex.ru)’”
I live in Ukraine and ‘[yandex.ru](http://yandex.ru)’ is blocked so thinking I need to remove this as a mirror.
How can I get around this and update?

Sorry, I live in the city of Kherson and the shelling started again and the wife was yelling and I just wanted to ask the question before the power died again.
Anyway, sorry. Should of waited and filed the ticket properly. . I just am struggling with patients at the moment. Again, I am sorry.
So… Lets try this

#### Steps to reproduce:

- …
#### Actual behaviour:

#### Extra details:
Ukraine has blocked all Russian web sites. I also tried maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing but the same issue. Did research and found that by removing the russian mirror from some file you can bypass the using the russian mirror web site. Just do not know where that file is.

Hang on in there, mate!
Go to `dietpi-config` then `Network Options-MIsc` and select another APT mirror from the first option, or you can input your custom.

It is the global apt package server for Armbian that has a pool of server behind. Something we don’t manage which server is selected. However, we could specify a dedicated mirror.
Let’s check where it is configured exactly as I’m not 100% sure on exact file name 😃
```auto
for i in /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*.list}; do echo "$i:"; cat "$i"; done
```

There is a [list](https://www.debian.org/mirror/list) which also includes Ukranian servers.

ok one hint, try to avoid screen prints. Way better to copy /past thinks directly from SSH terminal 😉
Try to adjust following `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list` and adjust the package source from `https://apt.armbian.com/` into `http://mirrors.xtom.de/armbian/`
Save the file and run `apt update`

I tried the copy - paste, it did not like all the links - complained about new person stuff… 😉

````sh
```
type or paste code here

Something got wrong during configuration on your side
This is your config
```auto
http://mirrors/xtom/de/armbian
```
But it should be
```auto
http://mirrors.xtom.de/armbian/
```
Some dots `.` changed into slash `/`. Pls review source file again.

I see you configured backports, this will go to upgrade quite some packages (290) now. Are you sure this is intentional? Better to upgrade to Bullseye instead [DietPi - How to upgrade to "Bullseye" - DietPi blog](https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=811)

Fixed the typo on the mirror and we are good there now. Mirror is found.
I am going to start a fresh install to the new Bullseye image. I am sure I will still need to change the mirror though. Thanks for all the help.
