I believe I know the problem here, and why this has persisted for so long despite apparently "works for me" -- it only occurs on fresh installs, and only before a first apt-get update is run. Similar issues occur with clicking apt-url links -- there's no cache, and so no record of any package in the cache, and so it fails.
To fix this we need to ensure at least one apt-get update is run very early after install time...or during install time. -- Codec manager does not find "bad" codecs when universe is not enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
