Binary package hint: apt
Machine: Xubuntu 7.10 (original kernel 2.6.22), AMD Turion64 x2
Particular problem:
Installing the flashplugin-nonfree packet. I get success doing it, but later flash doesn't work. After reinstalling again I check that the MD5sum mismatched but still the packet is marked as installed and successfully.
General problem:
I have seen the same problem for other packets.
Real problem:
Having apparently success when is not true. Bug in packet manager (synaptic, apt, whatever). When you couldn't install the packet due a MD5sum mismatch or another reason, you should see perfectly that there were a problem and you couldn't install the packet. This can get crazy a person because you see the program like installed when is not. Then maybe you try to install it again but the response is that you have it already installed when is not true.
This was terrible when I tried to get working flash in Firefox. ->Install missing plugins -> Install Flash Player -> Error you have it already installed!! ???
More problematic with Synaptic because maybe you never see the MD5sum mismatch. |
