Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
Tested by performing a new installation of Edgy: Desktop, Alternative, command-line system and Server. Actually, even the Live CD shows broken packages in 'aptitude'. If you run 'aptitude' immediately after booting into a newly installed system, it will report numerous broken packages. The number varies - sometimes it's only 4, sometimes 10, 14 or 33. This is probably due to 'aptitude' smart package handling when it tries to resolve all dependencies and install all suggested and recommended packages. Sorting through all this and examining each individual package in order to resolve all broken packages, although a one time deal, could be a bit painful for someone who prefers using 'aptitude' instead of one of the GUI package managers. It would be great if the default package selection was checked against 'aptitude' for each future Ubuntu releases. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- 'aptitude' shows many broken packages after fresh Edgy installation https://launchpad.net/bugs/77202 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
