Cannot update due a Claro Colombia ISP issue

Question

I have a problem updating because my ISP, Claro Colombia, uses a public IP range as a private network (5.x.x.x), and mirrordirector.raspbian.org (5.153.225.207) uses this ip range.

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

What you could do is add/replace the repositories used by what I'm guessing is apt-get.

The file you need to modify is /etc/apt/sources.list. Open it up with your favorite editor and

1. You could completely replace the default deb entries (just comment them out to be safe)

2. Add the mirrors as new entries. I got them from here, hand-picked since some of the ones in the list are dead.

Sample config (change yours accordingly based on your Raspbian version)

#------------------------DEFAULT DEB ENTRIES------------------------
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi

#Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
#--------------------------END OF DEFAULTS--------------------------


# ADDITIONAL ENTRIES, YOU CAN COPY THESE AND PASTE TO YOUR CONFIG FILE
# TAKE NOTE I AM USING RASPBIAN JESSIE, CHANGE YOURS ACCORDINGLY
