** Description changed: Because of bug #207137 Wubi now copies the CD content as opposed to extract an ISO. This was implemented via bug #230716 which allows casper to boot off a directory. That directory is bindmounted to /cdrom in the - initrd. But that introduced a regression because the bindmount makes - ubiquity/install.py > install_extras > do_install > cache.commit fail. + initrd. But that makes ubiquity/install.py > install_extras > do_install + > cache.commit fail, since apt/python-apt does not work correctly when + /cdrom is bind-mounted. That in turn can be tracked down to fetcher.Run() in apt/cache.py cache.py > Cache.commit > Cache._fetchArchives > self._runFetcher(fetcher) > fetcher.Run() Where fetcher = apt_pkg.GetAcquire(fetchProgress) -> Acquire instance When installing Wubi from an ISO (no bindmount) or when setting up /cdrom via a symlink in casper, the installation proceeds correctly.
