** Description changed: + SRU justification : + Without this fix, unattended installation using preseed/kickstart files for 10.04.4 fails with a red screen and the message "Packages was corrupt" + + Impact : + Impossible to preform unattended preseed installation in 10.04.4 + + Fix : + Backport and adapt the upstream debian fix in the following commit : + http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/debootstrap.git;a=commitdiff;h=733069bb97bdfe3f9c16ca4c9ef58685205eabf3;hp=412608c1fbe28074f56d930242e4269d5588d101 + + Test Case : + 1) Build new debootstrap-udeb_1.0.20ubuntu1.5_all.udeb package with the fix + 2) Make a local copy of the 10.04.4 alternate cd + 3) Use instructions in the following Wiki entry to rebuild the local archive with the modified .udeb package + https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization + 4) Use PXE installation with the rebuilt local archive to verify that the new .udeb does a complete installation without the "Packages was corrupt" message + + Regression : + This could only potentially affect netinst installation as no new .iso file will be created for Lucid. Moreover, this fix is already implemented in 12.04 LTS which runs debootstrap 1.0.39 + + Description of the problem : + Doing unattended kickstart-installation and during install I get a red screen with "Warning: http://..../ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted /binary-amd64/Packages was corrupt." I have to click "Continue" to go on. The file in question (Packages.gz) is only 20 bytes bit, same file on ubuntu-12.04-desktop is a couple of kilobytes, that looks more reasonable. "zcat Packages" reports no problem though. It looks like an empty .gz-file. There is nothing problem with my download. My downloaded iso has md5 9fcc322536575dda5879c279f0b142d7 just as it shold be. Either there is a problem with Packages.gz that should have some content, or it is a problem with the installer that detects an empty .gz-file as "corrupt". Anyways - it's a bug.
