I think what seems to be very clear from all of these reports is that the message complaining about ubuntu-minimal is very generic and can have multiple causes.
It is unfortunate that all the problems showing the same symptom have been lumped under the one bug, when the causes of these issues can vary considerably. Which suggests to me maybe the error itself is insufficient and doesn't help diagnose the cause of the problem. Just briefly, here are some reasons I have noticed from this report: * upgrade process commented out sources entries because it considered them 3rd party sources; upgrades should no supported from unofficial mirrors as well as official mirrors (e.g. use with local approx server). Under some circumstances they do work fine in fact, but the criteria is broken. * proxy server mis-configured. * overloaded mirror. * ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu installed at the same time (why should this matter?) There might be other reasons I have missed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772531 Title: 'ubuntu-minimal' cannot be found anymore while upgrading to Natty Narwhal -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
