Bug Description

I open the "Choose a Download Server" window in the Ubuntu Software Center (12.04 beta 2, x64). I then click on Australia expecting an ftp.iinet.net.au option to appear but nothing happens except highlighting the Australia option. The "Choose Server" button in the lower right corner remains greyed out.

BTW, the "Select Best Server" option still works, but is very slow.

Hi John, and thank you for your report! I have tried to reproduce the issue you describe, but I find that on my system I can choose any download server that I like, including the ftp.iinet.net.au that you mention.

In any case, this is actually an issue in the software-properties package, as it is that package that Software Center calls and that package that provides the dialog, etc. Therefore, I'll reassign the target package accordingly.

If you can provide any further information that might help us to figure out how to reproduce this problem, please do.

Thank you again for your help!

affects: software-center (Ubuntu) → software-properties (Ubuntu)

John,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

I cannot reproduce your issue using Ubuntu 18.04. Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
