what happened to my apt command?

[hamilc]

I am trying to do an update so I enter at the $ prompt, "sudo -get update" and I get the following
"unable to resolve host Rpi3" Rpi3 is my pi name.

So what gives?

You have a syntax error.

The commands are
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

Copy'n'paste my blue text.

Assuming "apt -get update" is merely a typo; I've seen the same "unable to resolve host" error when I haven't set the hostname in all the right places.

Use 'raspi-config' to set the hostname, reboot, and it will hopefully fix itself, "sudo apt-get update" should then work.

Don't know. With my recent version of RasPiOS Buster I get this -

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -get update
sudo: unknown group: et
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

It's either
sudo apt update
or
sudo apt-get update

As mentioned before
sudo -get update
is a non existing command
