This alert began to appear 3 days ago !!! Previously, everything was running satisfactorily.

```

I already tried with:  
registry rm General  
and then  
registry add General  
and then up again.  
without results. always the same alert !!!

But from the VSCode console it was possible to add the registers.  
Only afterwards was it possible for me to perform the update from REPL

I am unable to update packages. I am trying to find out if the problem is with Julia or some internet routing problem. Can anyone help?

This happened to me briefly in Julia 1.8:

```julia
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
│ exception = Could not resolve host: pkg.julialang.org while requesting https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
└ @ Pkg.Registry /Users/administrator/.julia/scratchspaces/a66863c6-20e8-4ff4-8a62-49f30b1f605e/agent-cache/default-macmini-aarch64-1.0/build/default-macmini-aarch64-1-0/julialang/julia-release-1-dot-8/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v1.8/Pkg/src/Registry/Registry.jl:68

```

But then it has since stopped happening without my doing anything.

What could have been the cause?
