Bug Description

I am adding Medibuntu to Mint 12, but the Bash add script given on your website gives "not found" line. This is due to the "$(lsb_release -cs).list" resolving to " www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/lisa.list" which of course dows not exist.

COMPLETE COMMAND LINE:

sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list
--2012-04-16 10:49:31-- http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/lisa.list
Resolving www.medibuntu.org... 88.191.127.22

2012-04-16 10:49:33 ERROR 404: Not Found.

WORKAROUND:

Manually editing the line to oneirc.list allows the script to run:

sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/oneiric.list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
