Similar errors here since yesterday. There are alternative repos, if anyone can post what is current while this error remains.
Now the forum is disabled, it is especially difficult for new users, to trawl back through a mailing list for old posts to get info; experienced users can deal with it, could be a real showstopper for others

I just got word of this problem now; it appears to be a DNS issue, however the DNS configuration of the Trinity web services has not been touched in several months, leading me to suspect upstream equipment and/or caches. Curiously, only the ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net DNS entry is down; all other DNS entries appear to be functioning normally. Also, "nslookup ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net pearsoncomputing.net" returns proper information, whereas "nslookup ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net" fails.
It is very late here so I cannot look into the problem tonight, but I will see what I can do tomorrow.
