Having time to look into this a bit further, it seems actually to be a bug. The extras-repository has been given up for releases > 15.04 in favour of the packages "restricted extras-*buntu" To my rememberance on installation of Wily-Kubuntu this repository was not marked as active as a standard, even though it's listed. So this probably needed some action from the user.
Then this is no bug - but a help-inquiry. whereas Launchpad-bugs is not a sufficient place to go for it. Information on places to seek help, has been given in a prior bug-report with the same subject. <OT> I would have found U, if you would have asked for help on askubuntu.com, since I'm registered there too - appart from the fact that some high-level users give friendly support there too. <OT>| ** Summary changed: - unable to open apt to umload extra packages + unable to open apt to load extra packages (extras-repository) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ubiquity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532402 Title: unable to open apt to load extra packages (extras-repository) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1532402/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
