** Description changed:
Binary package hint: installation-report
Example:
# ls /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2009-03-02 12:02 /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz
I get similar results on Hardy and Intrepid, i386 and amd64.
+
+ This is an issue for the installer team because that file exists
+ specifically to help us debug certain kinds of problems; we'd like to
+ get this fixed to increase our odds of getting useful debugging output.
+
+ This was fixed in installation-report version 2.38ubuntu2 in Jaunty.
+ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/installation-report/hardy-
+ proposed/revision/57 is a backport of this change that I'd like to get
+ in for Ubuntu 8.04.3.
+
+ TEST CASE: Perform an installation with the alternate or server
+ installer; check whether /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz contains
+ useful contents similar to that of /var/lib/dpkg/status.
+
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL: I can't think of any way that this could go wrong,
+ other than the original bug persisting. The command in question is
+ already failing as it stands, and the failure is being ignored, so it
+ isn't going to cause an installation failure or anything.
** Changed in: installation-report (Ubuntu Hardy)
