[Bug 922949] Re: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install
Actually, while I do still think this is an apt bug, I've found a workaround in ubiquity which doesn't seem too unreasonable; the effect will be that any corrupted downloads will be removed and the entire set of packages currently attempting to be installed will be skipped; that will normally mean language packs don't get installed, which is not ideal but not a showstopper. I think that will be enough to let me take this off the rls-p-tracking list. ** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) = Colin Watson (cjwatson) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922949 Title: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/922949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There isn't even a particularly straightforward interface for ubiquity to double-check the checksums itself. I think this can only be sensibly handled as an apt bug. ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu Precise) = apt (Ubuntu Precise) ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: Colin Watson (cjwatson) = Canonical Foundations Team (canonical-foundations) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922949 Title: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/922949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 922949] Re: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install
It doesn't actually have anything directly to do with install updates during install. This isn't downloading updates, it's downloading language packs. Checking package checksums is supposed to be apt's responsibility, not ubiquity's. apt normally *does* check the checksum, and in my tests a proxy that deliberately corrupts packages on the way through causes an exception to be raised, which at worst ought to cause ubiquity to display an error message but continue largely normally. This isn't happening in the cases in this bug and its duplicates. Rather than adding another layer of error checking which duplicates a layer of error checking that's supposed to be there already, I would like to figure out why the current layer of error checking isn't working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922949 Title: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/922949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 922949] Re: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install
My bug just got marked as a dupe of this one. I'd like to note two observations: - I'd explicitly unchecked install updates during install. I've noticed for the past 2-3 releases that Ubiquity completely ignores what you tell it in this regard and downloads updates during the install process anyway. - If Ubiquity sees that a package doesn't match the checksum, why doesn't it wipe it out and try to re-download it, rather than just crashing? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922949 Title: installation process can crash due to an issue with one package when choosing install updates as part of the install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/922949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
