[Bug 255545] Re: requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs
I haven't tried this specifically (as a work-around), but if you burn a recent Hardy daily build (dvd to get more packages?), it will have the apt-cdrom tool updated, and the installer should recognize it as having updates and do the upgrade of the packages. Then Intrepid should install without any problems. The other "fix" is to decompress the Package files (extract/reburn the intrepid iso). A third possible fix is to first upgrade the apt packages from the intrepid disk manually (dpkg -i /media/cdrom/...)

[Bug 255545] Re: requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs
This bug is STILL THERE on Interpid. And in my opinion, it's a bloody big bug. I am dumbfounded that Canonical did not test this before the release. So I burned an ISO of Ubuntu 8.10. I put it in to the drive, but it insisted on installing clean instead of offering me an upgrade to my existing Ubuntu installation on this laptop (which has the latest 8.04 version and updates installed). There is no Windows or OSX CD that wouldn’t offer me an upgrade. Add the CD as a source package to my existing installation you say? Sure. This is what I get in this case: E:Could not open file /cdrom/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages - open (2 No such file or directory), E:Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9 Bad file descriptor), W:Hash mismatch for: main/binary-i386/Packages, E:Could not open file /cdrom/dists/intrepid/restricted/binary-i386/Packages - open (2 No such file or directory), E:Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9 Bad file descriptor), W:Hash mismatch for: restricted/binary-i386/Packages In other words, I have no upgrade path through the CD. I just spent 2 hours downloading the ISO, and 700 MBs from my Comcast monthly allowance. If you haven't heard, we can't use as much bandwidth as we want now with Comcast, we got to be careful. So I don't feel very good having downloaded the 700 MB ISO for nothing. -- requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255545 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Back in the Duplicate bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267239), I asked if the dist-upgrade process or something else would insure an updated apt-cdrom before the intrepid upgrade or some other mechanism would insure hardy had this upgraded package BEFORE the intrepid upgrade (consider computers not on the internet). See the last comment in that other bug report. I know if I was doing things, I wouldn't bother upgrading Hardy this soon before Intrepid is out, I'd just install Intrepid.

** Description changed: Binary package hint: apt + + TEST CASE: + 1. insert a intrepid alternate CD + 2. open a temrinal and type "apt-cdrom add" + 3. watch it fail + + 4. install the new apt from hardy-proposed + 5. insert a intrepid alternate CD + 6. type apt-cdrom add and verify that it works (its ok that it prints warnings about missing files) + + When acquiring packages from a networked archive, apt is quite happy for the uncompressed Packages file to be omitted to save space; it only fetches the indexes it needs, and will try Packages.bz2 (if bzip2 is available) or Packages.gz first, so omitting Packages is harmless. However, the same does not hold for CDs, which is rather unfortunate as the space problem is more acute there; we'd like to be able to remove the uncompressed Packages files from our alternate install CDs and save about 1.5MB. apt-cdrom wants to copy all the indexes, and gets upset when some of them are missing.

People do create local mirrors starting from an Ubuntu CD image quite often, so I wouldn't like to introduce a two-way incompatibility here.

[Bug 255545] Re: requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs
I may be slightly naive here (having not looked into the code yet), but
can we not have apt-cdrom reuse the apt-get codepath to "unpack
Packages.{bz2,gz} to /var/lib/apt" and then use the results for the
Release file verification?
One could, of course, make the above conditional on the CD not having
uncompressed Packages files, if you want to avoid populating
/var/lib/apt and wasting local disk space when the CD *does* have those
files.
