Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
I successfully installed Ubuntu 7.0.4 on my trusty old Powerbook G4 Titanium (500MHz, 1GB RAM). However when searching for new packages to install, such as kubuntu-desktop, I did not find them. When running "apt-get update", I got errors indicating that most of the repository's locations were invalid. Looking at sources.list, I noticed that ubiquity had correctly configured the closest location, in my case Austria, but checking in a browser, I found out that on the mirror did not offer any PPC binaries at all (which is a shame btw). After using the sources.list-generator at http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ and switching to Germany, all repositories were found and I could successfully install the desired packages. Conclusio: ubiquity should check for availability of packages for the host architecture and not blindly configure the geographically closest mirror. ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- sources.list auto-configuration does not check for architecture availability https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
