E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I resolved this issue. My Linux box was unable to browse and resolve hosts names. After adding appropriate roots, the issue was resolved.

Type in console as root:

apt-get update && apt-get install php5-curl

or with sudo:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Sorry I missread.

1st, check your DNS config and if you can ping any host at all,

ping google.com
ping zm.archive.ubuntu.com

If it does not work, check /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/network/resolv.conf , if not, change your apt-source to a different one.

/etc/apt/sources.list

You should not use Ubuntu sources on Debian and vice versa.

I wrote an article on topis how to [manually install curl on debian linu][1]x.

[1]: http://www.jasom.net/how-to-install-curl-command-manually-on-debian-linux . This is its shortcut:

1. cd /usr/local/src
2. wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.36.0.tar.gz
3. tar -xvzf curl-7.36.0.tar.gz
4. rm *.gz
5. cd curl-7.6.0
6. ./configure
7. make
8. make install

And restart Apache. If you will have an error during point 6, try to run apt-get install build-essential .

Whatever approach you take, make sure in the end that you have an updated version of curl and libcurl. You can do curl --version and see the versions.

Here's what I did to get the latest curl version installed in Ubuntu:

1. sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu wily main"
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install curl
