Dropping the damaged link and retrying the package upgrade fixed that. And thanks for the upstream work. Now I should check the file-system... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573696

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
