Public bug reported: I installed hardy from scratch on a server using the alternate installer cd last week. This week I go have a look in my /etc/apt/sources.list file (for some other reason), and I see the following:
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security multiverse So... If I hadn't gone to have a look, I would have had security updates disabled forever, because they "failed to verify" at install time. My guess is that these lines "didn't verify" because I didn't have an Internet connection up at install time, but the reason doesn't matter all that much. Whatever the reason, these lines should never be commented out! Skip them that time when they don't verify (and maybe they'll verify okay the next time), but don't comment them out! Getting off soapbox now. Thanks. :-) ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Installer disables security updates when they do not verify at install time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
