I know the solution to this problem is all over the net, but I still cannot seem to fix it. I get the following error when I try to run 'apt-get update' on any target in scratchbox. 

[sbox-CHINOOK_ARMEL: ~] > apt-get update

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I checked all of my nsswitch.conf files, and each one is correct (host and each target). This worked when I first installed scratchbox and now it doesn't. Any thoughts?
