Public bug reported: Binary package hint: synaptic
To reproduce: 1. Open Synaptic Package Manager 2. Click settings, then repositories. 3. In the 'Download From' dropdown, choose 'other' 4. Click 'Select Best Server' button. It will go do file transfer tests off a bunch of mirrors, and choose what it feels is the fastest (for me, the clarkson.edu mirror (http)). 5. Refresh package lists. It'll toss up a ton of 404 errors if the mirror doesn't have Gutsy files. for example: http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/ubuntu/dists/ no gutsy there. ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GUTSY: synaptic select best server chooses repository without Gutsy packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
