I think Poppafuzze wasn't commenting on this bug. His rant and his incorrect claims certainly have no relation to what's been discussed here. In general, I think it's advisable to actually understand before ranting and risking to look stupid. The only thing I could make out from his incorrect deductions and claims was that he is somehow unhappy about Ubuntu and the way packages are handled. If that's the case and he prefers the way Debian does thing, then I think the solution to his problem should be obvious.
People who come from a Debian background apparently frequently fail to understand that Ubuntu has no concept of dedicated Maintainers. Any analysis based on this assumption is flawed from the beginning. And there just is no way around the Ubuntu release process as outlined above. Just accept it, always run the latest release or switch distro, those are your only three options, I'd say. Enough off-topic. Guillermo, are you already running Karmic (maybe you can try out a live CD or live USB?) and is the problem still present there? -- apt-cacher-ng hangs and corrupts packages (intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302693 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
