Uh, indeed... Deepest apologies, the problem was really just my hardware, namely one memory module. The Ubuntu LiveCD memory test displayed two errors (never had there been any problems earlies, which I suppose goes in the "good luck" category), but after removing that module, the installation went smoothly as charm.
So at least from my point, this "bug" can be closed and forgotten. Once more, sorry about all the trouble caused. -- Squashfs (?) errors during file copy (install phase) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224062 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
