This is a demonstration that dpkg-ftp is working properly. It is reporting
that the name specified (which is correct, by the way) either wasn't know
to the name server, or you have not designated one correctly (you may have
followed instructions and comma seperated a list of name servers)
/etc/resolv.conf is where this belongs. Mine looks like:
domain polaris.net
search polaris.net
nameserver 199.44.34.2
If you want more than one (have a list where I have only one) remove any
commas.
Luck,
Dwarf
