I had this same problem and was able to work around the bug by clicking "Skip" when the installer was configuring APT (the installer then finished successfully) and then type the following commands on the finished system from a terminal window:
sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/lock sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get update Now, it works correctly. -- [Maverick Beta] install from USB stuck retrieving files 2/6 Hp Mini https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627672 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
