Re: Remove April 7th iso from unstable/ on SourceForge

 

I got this too on an install of the latest iso; something about a hash mismatch that prevented me from doing any apt procedures. I googled the error and found an Ubuntu Forum thread that had me delete a file and then everything worked. I'll look into it again.

They can't install any packages AFAIK, "broken dependencies" I believe.

Haha, good point, I thought about that after I hit Send.

What errors are they having besides initrd.img not found? Cannot upgrade from luna to precise? apt-get update 404s?

I'm deleting it now that I'm near my computer.

Still, can't we please remove it? We're getting far too many people on #elementary who have installed and asking for help.

Also, the iso doesn't even boot for most iso burning apps, only on Unetbootin, so it doesn't really pass the Does It Boot test either.

It passed our standard test for unstable ISOs, "Does it boot?".

Hey there,

We're getting many users on #elementary complaining about broken package manager and PPAs on the April 7th iso. I'm not sure who uploaded a broken iso, but please test isos before uploading them because we're basically fooling users. Sure, they know it's unstable before downloading it, but still, we should try to be as stable as possible.

tl;dr; Somebody who controls the Sourceforge page please remove latest uploaded iso.

Regards,
David "Munchor" Gomes
