Bug Description
If you attempt to execute the script straight off the alternate cdrom, it fails with the error message:
[quote]
tar: ./dists/
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting
[/quote]
This can easily be fixed by copying the file onto the hard-drive, and removing the final slash from the "dists/
Changed in update-manager: | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
milestone: | none → later |
status: | Incomplete → Triaged |
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. How exactly did you go about executing the script? It should be run using the absolute path so something like 'gksu "sh /cdrom/ cdromupgrade" '.
Thanks in advance.
