Hi, That's absolutely true. There were a bug that this patch at least fixed. But in fact at the very moment this bug has been opened, the given link were valid. See comment 2 . Wget were able to start downloading the file. Now to make a valid test of the patch you should try using : http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso Sadly, I am not home , and can't test the patch against this link. If the test succeeds then we shall consider this patch solving the issue :-) Regards -- [apport] axel crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc_consolidate() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90452 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
