Update - solution of sorts? I noticed from the output of a batch update that immediately after all the GET lines, there was
debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed I must admit I've never heard of apt-utils, and it evidently isn't installed as a dependency in the base system. So, out of curiosity, I installed it (and of course got the W message). However, subsequent installs are now clean - no more warnings. So - either something in apt-utils is required (and so apt-utils should be included in the minimal install configuration out the box) or remediates the "problem" so may give you a clue as to its cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2079785 Title: apt / apt-get install produce spurious Warning To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2079785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
