Merged, here you go:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/0.99.0

(We're still a little bit away from Feature Freeze and we just released
an LTS. Now is the time to test major updates to software.)

Thanks for your work here! How much of this is now in Groovy with the
above changes, and what can be merged into software-properties?

Thanks Dan and Bryce, this definitely makes things a lot easier.

Re: [lubuntu-users] Installation using mini.iso for i386-16.04 freezes loading nic-firmware package

2016-07-19 Thread Simon Quigley
Hi Nio,

First of all, thank you for looking into this.

Can you personally confirm this bug? If not, could you please ask OP to file a 
bug report?

In that bug report, please subscribe the Lubuntu Packages Team. We can then 
determine whether or not this is a Lubuntu and/or Ubuntu Server bug as well.

I'm predicting that it doesn't affect Lubuntu and/or Ubuntu Server because the 
mini.iso cuts down on a lot of different packages, but I could be wrong.

Looping the Ubuntu Server list in and leaving Nio's original email below just 
in case someone is experiencing the same thing.

Greetings,

I tried this in an schroot and I got dependency errors.

I'll find a way to add a signed-off-by and push for you, if you don't
mind. Thanks again! :)
