Thanks for the feedback guys, but what is confusing is that I can use a binary eclipse Build id: 20100218-1602 and work with:EGit - http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates and can install EGit 0.7.1 just fine. The debs supplied by Ubuntu seem broken.
I wonder whether this is related to bug #530414 ? -- Can't install EGit, network error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566025 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
