Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
I had the alternate cd for gutsy already, but decided to use "update- manager -d" to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, since it's the recommended way. I had added the cdrom with apt-cdrom -m add. apt-get policy confirmed packages were detected and available from cdrom. update- manager said it needed to download only 300 MB, so I it also seemed to acknowledge the cdrom packages at that point. However the download took much longer than expected, and using strace I could see that it was downloading packages that were already on the cdrom: read(0, "600 URI Acquire\nURI: http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/usplash/usplash_0.5.7_i386.deb\n";..., 64000) = 166 $ apt-cache policy usplash usplash: Installed: 0.4-44 Candidate: 0.5.7 Version table: 0.5.7 0 500 cdrom://Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1) gutsy/main Packages 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages *** 0.4-44 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- always downloads even if packages are on cdrom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153843 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
