[Bug 1679220] Re: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool
I'm not sure there is any legitimate case for booting $RELEASE1 and trying to have the installer install $RELEASE2. And even if there were, you can't do that now anyhow. It should be as simple as having apt- cdrom check lsb_release, and only look in that pool directory instead of searching them all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679220 Title: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1679220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1679220] Re: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool
I might accept patches for it, but I'm not likely to work on it myself. It sounds fairly complicated to handle, especially if users actually want to use a different release. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679220 Title: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1679220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To install the system in the first place of course. Normally the installer iso contains a /pool directory with a single release directory, but if someone later uses the usb creator to extract another iso for another release, they end up with a /pool directory with two different release directories under it, and apt searches both releases for packages to install causing all sorts of problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1679220 Title: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1679220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't understand the problem, sorry. Can you expand on that? I don't use anything other than http(s) repositories.
