Confirmed for my installation, Edubuntu 7.10 installed from Server CD in a VirtualBox VM. Not sure if a networking glitch occurred during install or update, but no reason to suspect it did. Solved by `sudo scrollkeeper-rebuilddb'. Now all is well.

Install info: The initial boot-up menu screen was graphical, but during the install the frame buffer X server must have had a problem, as my install and config screens fell back to curses-looking text. I used all defaults during the install except:

- I did a custom partitioning of my virtual HD
- I chose screen resolutions of 1280x960, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480

BTW, I installed Ubuntu 7.10 from the desktop CD inside another VB VM and didn't run into this error. Perhaps it's a glitch, or a corner case triggered if installing/updating Server inside VB or any VM? HTH.
