I'd like to say not yet on closing this. As this bug affects the ability to do custom CD's for ubuntu installation as well. Even an attempt to something like upgrade/update a CD is affected... 9.10 still would allow me to do an apt-get update (customization done IAW https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization) and associated installation of packages. I can take a 9.04 CD break it out like this and do an apt-get upgrade to 9.10. If I attempt to do either one of these two processes. (upgrade 9.10 to 10.4 in the chroot jail, or just do an apt-get update of 10.4) I get the now for me infamous dpkg: ../../src/archives.c:763: tarobject: Assertion `r == stab.st_size' failed.
The following is an excerpt from inside the chroot jail. When attempting to upgrade from 9.10. If I do an attempt just to update 10.4, it will fail out on base-files. r...@jacer:/# sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
