Probably your out-of-scratchbox /etc/resolv.conf changed. Copy it to
/scratchbox/etc/. Or update your /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl such that the
start_sbox function is:

start_sbox()
{
        echo -n "Starting Scratchbox: "
        $SBOX_DIR/sbin/register_misc_runner && echo -n "binfmt_misc, "
        $SBOX_DIR/sbin/sbox_mount_all       && echo -n "mount."
        cp /etc/resolv.conf $SBOX_DIR/etc/  && echo -n " resolv.conf."
        echo
}

While you're at it: some programs get confused and use /etc/resolv.conf
inside scratchbox which is again different from
/scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf. So I recently had to do

rm /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

_inside_ scratchbox (you actually had to do this for every target).
