installation (which is installed within Virtual Box), I am getting error
messages stating that some files could not be retrieved from the server.

be changed or

Hi all,
I reported a bug in meld (a GUI file comparison tool), and then
forwarded it to the upstream bugzilla. The bug is here in case anyone
is interested: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meld/+bug/570553
I've now found out that the bug has been fixed in the latest upstream
version, an

Hmm, thanks for all the responses!
I think, as I tend to be rather conservative with other people's machines,

I understand what you're saying about needless replication, however, if I
didn't trust Canonical with my data, or weren't permitted to external web
