Hi there, First of all, if this topic is not quality-related, please let me know who I should contact for this.
I had a lot of small issues today while installing Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. For instance, I could not install the proprietary nvidia drivers [1] (there was some unmet dependencies issues), nor Skype (from the partner repository, same here, unmet dependencies with skype-bin package) In the end, it looks like they were all linked to the server used to retrieve the package list/updates. After I changed it from Taiwan (it was set automatically during the install, I guess this option is parsed from the location you set during the installation?) to Main Server, and did the necesary "sudo apt-get update", it was much better. After switching from the Taiwanese server to the Main one, and doing a "sudo apt-get upgrade", I got the following list of packages to update (from a fresh install): -------------------- The following packages will be upgraded: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra liboil0.3 liboxideqt-qmlplugin liboxideqtcore0 libva1 oxideqt-codecs qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras-browser-plugin qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-extras-browser-plugin-assets webapp-container webbrowser-app 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. -------------------- Do you think it's normal that different servers provide different packages? It was very misleading for me... A few questions: - is there a document listing the different servers? - who is responsible for synchronizing the different servers so they all contain the same packages? - could this be considered a bug? If so, under what "component" should I file it? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
