Dapper Install Hangs on "Configuring Apt"

[JamesNorris]

When installing dapper from the current nightly CDs, the installation will hang on configuring apt.

I have eth0 connected to another computer, via a crossover cable, the other computer connects through mine. I conncet to the internet via a speedtouch 330 ADSL modem, which is not active during the installation.

However, I assume that the installation is attempting to connect through eth0 and for some reason, is not timing out when configuring apt or looking for security updates. It sits for a long time on one stage of configuring apt, and then hangs on "100%" after telling me it cannont connect to the security repository.

The 'linux (upstream)' addition here was a mistake, but I can't figure out how to remove it.

Was trying to add something that indicated this was an install issue.

Rejecting duplicate task, bug remains open

Thanks for the report. Do you still have this issue with latest Dapper?

[JamesNorris (jiminorris)]

Unfortunately, I've not done a clean install since dapper flights have been stable enough to run as my main OS. I don't plan to do another clean install anytime soon, unless I break things with X, which is usually why I end up with a clean install anyway.

I will certainly come back and say so if it does occur again.

Thanks for the reply. I'm rejecting the bug for now, but if you do see the problem again please feel free to re-open it.
