understand that our entire department has shifted to scientific linux now due to the loss of quality inubuntu generally, and this issue specifically, sine 10.04.
what good is a coherent central repository that doesn't really work? we just mix rpms and sources now, under a different tree. sorry. ubuntu no good for neuroscience anymore we're on rhel. do what you want. I raised this issue months ago. I'm a scientist. I don't have time to wait. 10.04 was a good system. 11.04 is not. 10.10 was't great either. don't fix things that work. that's kind of basic software engineering. I would use debian, but I need CUDA so, RHEL is most stable.
