@Andy: Under Karmic, I just installed xz-utils and ignored the warning, and everything worked fine.
I would be surprised if they were to change this is Karmic, since it's not an LTS, and changing it would impose a huge testing burden to ensure that it worked with everything. But I'm not an Ubuntu developer, I just report bugs, so you may not want to take my word for it. -- Installing xz-utils: You are about to do something potentially harmful. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
