Apt can't install anything as it failes with an error of "Temporary failure resolving 'raspbian.playstar.se'". Updates run fine.
I have an empty /etc/apt/sources.list.d, and the default /etc/apt/sources.list. Is there another place where apt gets source urls which it tries?

  • The Raspbian entry in sources.list points to a mirror director. In your case it resolves to the raspbian.playstar.se. The problem may be temporary one so I would try again in a couple of hours time...

  • @Dirk That's good to know, thank you! However it's sadly not temporary, I've already waited a couple days before asking the question. Can I set it to a mirror of choice? Commented Nov 21, 2022 at 18:35
  • Hard code a (nearby) server from the list at raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors to replace mirrordirector....

You can get over bad repos by hard coding an address from https://raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors.

It's not intended as a permanent option, but will get you going right now.
