Binary package hint: debian-installer
This may be 2 or 3 bugs tangled together.
ubuntu alt installer, at the 'partition drives' dialog, Alt-F2 to a BusyBox shell,
anna-install openssh-client-udeb
geterror: "Loading libcrypto0.9.8-u failed for unknown reasons. Aborting. <continue> <go back>"
hitting either has the same effect: it is installed. (at least scp is)
looking at the syslog I see
Package libcrypto0.9.8-udeb is already installed and configured
A) why is it trying to install it again ?
B) why is that causing an error ?
C) why is the error message "unknown reasons" ? (seems like it should report something more useful, which might answer A and B. |
During netboot installations, the network udeb retriever fetches Packages files for hardy, hardy-security, and hardy-updates. However, nothing deals with de-duplicating these, and, if asked to install a package that is duplicated across pockets, anna will end up trying to install the same thing multiple times and crashing in utter confusion.
This has been fixed in net-retriever 1.21ubuntu2 in intrepid, by adding some relatively simple de-duplication code. This is strictly the wrong place for it, but my assessment is that trying to do it in libdebian-installer (the correct place) for hardy would be very difficult and much more likely to go wrong, as the code there is very convoluted.
The attached patch fixes this bug. Changelog entry:
* Deduplicate Packages files before passing them to anna (LP: #234486).
Circumstances conspire to make this excessively difficult, including
requiring net-retriever to become Architecture: any; this should really
be done in libdebian-installer, but for the meantime that's even harder.
TEST CASE: Fetch the netboot mini.iso from the archive (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-proposed/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso; replace hardy-proposed with hardy to test the failing version), type 'cli anna/choose_modules=network-console' at the boot: prompt, and confirm that it gets as far as asking you for an SSH password.
Regression potential: netboot installations might end up broken in different ways. CD installations will be unaffected. |
