Hi, Nio e-mailed me about this recently. I have one idea, that might work. a postintpostint script is being described... so the only real hacky workaround I can think of is to create a script.
This script can check for internet and wait until apt is finished(or wait 5 minutes). Then it can update the database. install the script, and then run it from postinst. Once it is run it can delete itself, or flag something for postinst to not run it ever again... postinst could say something like if [ -f "$flag_file_found" ] then #do nothing else fix_things_with_the_hacktastic_script fi I think this would be the easiest way to work around this issue, but definitely not as good as fixing the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446830 Title: can't find uninstalled packages on a system installed with the alternate image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-software-center/+bug/1446830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
