I think this happened because I had a ~olpc/Activities/.groups that contained http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1 , and I think this means Software update uses http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/10.1 or possibly .../10.1.2, a big list of activities intended for XO-1.5. (The process is explained at <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_update#Activity_groups>.) I've written up a workaround for this problem with XO-1 updates, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Release_notes/10.1.2 , if anyone else is testing updating XO-1s from 8.2.0 , please reply or comment if you're having this problem or not. It seems important enough for the release notes. There are two things that make this problem worse. 1. The name in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/10.1 is "G1G1 Activities for OLPC OS 10.1", and this appears in Software update > Modify activity groups. It could be usefully changed to "Larger set of G1G1 Activities for OLPC OS 10.1". 2. Both Software update and `sugar-control-panel -g available_updates` misrepresent the URL they're using. They both print "Fetching http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1..."; even though that usually *isn't* the web page they retrieve and use! I filed http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10321 , the fix is in Sugar (cpsection and/or bitfrost) but a partial workaround is to label each subpage of Activities/G1G1/ in greater detail using the activities microformat. Details in the bug report. -- =S Page _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
