Agreed. It *should* be fixed, but it only affects users if: 1: they are upgrading using a CD/DVD AND 2: the media is bad (and they have used that media without verifying that the file checksums are good)
Unfortunately, this will be hard to test, as it depends on having media (such as a CD-RW disk) that is bad, that you can write the iso image to. Given the nature of the failure, I suspect that an install from bad media would also fail with similar symptoms, because the error is being detected by /usr/lib/apt/methods/cdrom (or the installer equivalent) when scanning the package files -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848659 Title: Upgrade from natty fails with 64-bit oneiric beta cd (I/O error while reading CD) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/848659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
