Why, has it been fixed? Because if it hasn't it is a utterly disastrously serious security problem. This is because upgrading to 6.06, the upgrade stops half way through, leaving potentially hundreds of packages incorrectly installed. My system actually ran at this point, but who knows what security vulnerabilities existed? Or what problems were created by me trying to fix it? Whilst there is still ia86 code running on x86_64 architectures, failure to install the libraries they all depend on is close to the worst POSSIBLE security problem one can imagine. Total system failure would cause less of problem than a half working one. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- ia32-libs bug in installation script (critical!) https://launchpad.net/bugs/50727 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
