Comment 11 for bug 1066445

< skaet> lamont, jibel saw the failure on hardware and VM, fresh installation, all amd64. hggdh hasn't been able to see it though. what are the specifics of the system you saw 1066445 on?
< lamont> skaet: I'd have to dig a bit, but I'm pretty sure this was an install from this year, call it precise, amd64, real hw. do-release-upgraded to quantal at beta(1?), and dist-upgraded pretty much daily since then. has quantal{,-{security,updates}} {main,universe,multiverse} (no restricted), as well as a ppa or 2 and a local archive
< lamont> the mirror I hit is synced from us.archive at :50 each hour
< skaet> thanks lamont, can you add that to the bug, so we see if we can get the pattern figured out?

In my debugging, I commented out all the deb lines in all of sources.list and sources.list.d/* and got it down to failure with quantal main and universe, but not either one separately.

here are more package versions than I think you want to know.
