XBPS: "Unkown resolver error" When Attempting To Obtain Dependencies For Packages

Currently, I'm attempting to install desktop-related packages, like so:

xbps-install cinnamon NetworkManager network-manager-applet wireless-tools 
nano

I've tried repo, repo2, and repo3

repo, repo2 and repo3 each result in an "Unkown resolver error" while 
attempting to download dependencies dbus-1.8.14_2 and nspr-4.10.7_1

I've double-checked the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, and it looks correct.

OK, this is working from within a chroot jail, from the live cd, so I must 
assume there is something off in my configuration.

In /etc/resolv.conf, I have:

search asgard
nameserver 192.168.1.1

This appears to be the same as the live cd.
Additionally, as this is occurring only with certain dependencies (most 
things download and install just fine), I'm not sure where the issue is 
stemming from.

Yea nameservers were the first thing I was thinking, but if some stuff 
works and other stuff doesnt... that's weird.  I'd go ahead and test 
googles nameservers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) just to see what happens.  In fact, 
I am using them right now because it was an easy dns to remember when 
setting up static ip's with wicd.

I also tried Google's nameservers, and had the same result.
You might give OpenDNS a try- I haven't, yet.

Possibly a stupid question but, you have made sure that all your repos are 
comming from the same mirror correct?  And that you are making sure to do 
an xbps-install -S to resync?  I remember when I was jumping between 
mirrors I only changed one which gave me troubles due to different repos. 

Now that I check your post I realize you said you did:
>xbps-install cinnamon NetworkManager network-manager-applet wireless-tools

Add the -S switch to make sure the repos are properly in sync so...
xbps-install -S cinnamon NetworkManager network-manager-applet 
wireless-tools nano
The above should work if syncing was the issue... Good Luck.

DNS should be alright if you are getting something. Are you sure synching 
is working alright and the other packages are not installed from local 
cache?
Otherwise it sounds to me like a routing problem. Do you maybe have some 
weird iptables configuration or your MTU value is too high?

This is a fresh install, so I doubt it's installing from cache.
Also, I haven't fussed with any routing or networking settings, yet.

Unless you are using xbps compiled statically for glibc, this is a network 
issue... unrelated to xbps, afaik.
