Plase how could i fix this error

Looks like you will have to do this sort of thing only when you have a good network connection. Remember composer gets these packages from the internet and not by magic — RiggsFolly, Feb 25 '18 at 14:49

Thank u @RiggsFolly yes i have to have a good network to de composer update which mean to avoid this kind of error. I have deconnected all devices that i reached to update. thank u again — DINA TAKLIT, Feb 25 '18 at 15:47

This issue was posted about 2 years ago but I wanna answer this problem so no one should have difficulty like me.

First open /etc/resolv.conf

(if you using Ubuntu distributions, the file is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head)

# cat /etc/resolve.conf

And after that, write this rows to the file:

# Google's public DNS servers
nameserver 8.8.8.8    # Primary DNS server
nameserver 8.8.4.4    # Secondary DNS server

These are the Google's public DNS servers as mentioned in the code above.

Save and close.

After restart the network service using this command:

service network restart

This solved my problem.

Hope help to others...

I fixed the issue on Linux/Centos6 (Plesk Onyx) by:

Opening /etc/resolv.conf (my file was empty)

Added: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

options rotate options timeout:3

Hopefully this helps someone out there.

In my case was a dns misconfiguration in Vagrant VM.

Updating DNS in /etc/resolv.conf solved my issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/897270/dns-cannot-resolve-hosts

In case someone in the future needs this...

If you're using docker it's likely you're having DNS issues from inside the container. Basically the fix is :

Find out your network's DNS server :nmcli dev show | grep 'IP4.DNS' (let's say it gives 10.0.0.2)

then update /etc/docker/daemon.json like so :

{
    "dns": ["10.0.0.2", "8.8.8.8"]
}

of course replacing 10.0.0.2 with yours. Then don't forget to sudo service docker restart.

I tried using root user and it's working fine.

I was also facing the same error while installing few modules and also composer update.

Tried sudo su to login as root and ran composer command.
