Package: debian-installer Severity: important
I just downloaded the installer image for Lenny, called: debian-500-amd64-netinst.iso and used it to do a clean install on an AMD system. It all seemed to run fine but at the end I found I had a hybrid Lenny/Etch system. The kernel was 2.6.26 (indicating Lenny) but the version of OpenOffice.org was 2.0 (indicating Etch). Investigating /etc/apt/sources.list I found that the embedded release name was "etch" where it should have been "lenny", meaning that I seemed to have got a Lenny base system with Etch used for everything else. Editing /etc/apt/sources.list to change the system to lenny and then doing an "apt-get dist-upgrade" seems to have cured it. The only slightly odd thing which I did during the installation was to use a local Debian mirror (which carries Etch, Lenny and Squeeze) instead of a public one. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-liberty15 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
