Maybe you should have if only to see whether others had replicated your problem. Not being in your shoes I'm not certain whether it would be worth it.
With this one I went through the same process several times before resorting to the command line to fix it. Then I filed the bug. I've come across the "Sub-process gzip returned an error code" many times on Ubuntu at various times. The last time was today. It seems like quite some time since I've had to go to /var/lib/apt/lists and manually delete files to get the system on track again. That error seems to come from partially downloaded package lists or lists that appear to have downloaded properly but are corrupt. You are right of course in that there could have been a major redesign in the code between beta and final which could have had the effect of fixing a bug as a side effect rather than by intent. -- Feisty beta updater fails using fast unreliable net connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104732 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
