The cause of the linux-restricted package not being updated was due to the security-related lines in /etc/apt/sources.list only having the "main" flag rather than "main restricted", i.e. deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main instead of deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted
Once I added the "restricted" keywords and updated, all was well. As this was a brand-new ab-initio install, not an upgrade, I don't know how the issue with sources.list could have occurred. -- 6.06 with kernel update 2.6.15-25 loses ath0 wlan https://launchpad.net/bugs/50062 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
