Temporary failure resolving 'mirrors.linode.com'.?

I executed the "apt-get update -y" and received the results:
Err:1 http://apt-longview.linode.com stretch InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'apt-longview.linode.com'

Hey there! So this could be a couple of things -- to narrow the possibilities down, I'd request that you thread the output from a couple of commands run from your Linode.
curl -sIL mirrors.linode.com | grep HTTP
mtr -rwc 50 mirrors.linode.com
cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep "^[^#;]"
These will give us a good overview of any networking errors that you may be running into. I'd also recommend making sure that Network Helper is enabled for your Linode. Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris,
I have many others problems. Some commands not found as sudo, mtr, vi, ifup, vim, …. Some services have not gone up.
I was changing architecture from i386 to amd64 and did purging some packages. I must have made some mistakes, then my decision was restored from the last backup.
Muito obrigado pela atenção.

Ah, gotcha -- going from a 32-bit environment to a 64-bit one (and all that that entails) can definitely be tricky. That being the case, we typically recommend that customers simply spin up an entirely new Linode with a fresh installation of your OS/environment of choice, and then transfer any important data from the old Linode to the new one. This has the potential to help in avoiding a lot of strange, hard-to-diagnose bugs.
If you do end up running into any additional issues, feel free to @ me in this thread, or submit a ticket through the Manager. Tchau, Antonio!
