Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-app-install
Mac iBook G4 1.2GHz uname -a: Linux alterego 2.6.15-25-powerpc #1 Wed Jun 14 11:27:00 UTC 2006 ppc GNU/Linux /etc/issue: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS The latest upgrades offer, for example, the Opera browser in "gnome-app- install". However, on PPC ( iBook G4 1.2Ghz in my case), marking Opera and attempting to install it results in the following sequence: 1. Mark Opera for install 2. Accept the offer to enable the commercai channel, clicking "enable channel" 3. Wait for package information and checking installed and available applications ..... 4. GOTO 2 ;-) 5. ..... ??? 6. Profit! Actually we don't ever get to (6), we just get an endless loop, 1-2-3-4-2-3-4-2-3-4...... *cough* The app just endlessly returns to the "Enable the required third-party channel "dapper-commercial" ? " dialogue. Adding the line: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main to the /etc/apt/sources.list , and updating, then attempting sudo apt-get install opera results in <snip> Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package opera has no installation candidate I assume this means there is no "Opera" for PPC - but if so, it should not appear in the app-install GUI, and the means for trying to install it should not result in an endless loop as above. ** Affects: gnome-app-install (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- gnome-app-install does not enable 6.06 LTS commercial (Mac/PPC arch.) https://launchpad.net/bugs/52409 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
