freshly installed Debian-netinst, configured internet connection. Pinged Google - all transmitted packets were received, 0% loss.
Yet I am not sure if I have internet connection for what ever package I am trying to install using apt-get install package_name, I receive
E: Unable to locate package package_name
How can I check internet connection from CLI?
