I ended up here while working on verification of the fix for bug #947107. Since there is no clearly written test-case I've drawn some of my own conclusions:
(1) Any use of apt, certainly installation or upgrade of any packages, but also something as mundane as running "apt-cache policy <any package name>" prior to installation would cause ubiquity to crash with either the Precise 20140123 or 20140124 images. (2) I can not reproduce that crash using the 20140125 image no matter how hard I try. So I think I could mark this "verification-done" but there are so many duplicates I'd like to get some feed-back from Dimitri to be sure I'm not overlooking something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051935 Title: Fails with SystemError when too many files are open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/+bug/1051935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
