Strange for me, ca.archive.ubuntu.com is resolving to 91.189.88.152 . If I ping us.archive.ubuntu.com it is resolving to 91.189.91.23 which works and is what you are getting for ca.archive.ubuntu.com . Looks like a DNS problem somewhere for me?

I would trust that DNS for the Ubuntu hosts is configured by smarter folks than me, and set up correctly. :) On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 1:56 AM Jim Ruxton via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

For some reason my /etc/hosts file had ca.archive.ubuntu set to 91.189.88.152 . Getting rid of that fixed everything. Maybe i should set it to 91.189.91.23 to be safe however.
