[Bug 835961] Re: Lubuntu oneiric alternate CD install fails to install lubuntu-desktop

[Erick Brunzell]

Change in behavior with 20110830-i386 which may or may not be an
official iso-testing image.

The installation fails and says so with the warning that "Installation
step failed" and goes on to explain that the step that failed is "Select
and install software".

After trying again, and failing again, I chose "finish the install" and
after completion boot failed, so I tried recovery mode and ran apt-get
-f install which showed nothing but running  apt-get install lubuntu-
desktop shows:

Depends: gnome-system-tools but it is not going to be installed, along
with the following recommends not being installed; abiword, gnome-
mplayer, gnome-time-admin, guvcview. Then it says, E: Unable to correct
problems, you have held broken packages.

I hope this is helpful.

I'm subscribing Jean-Baptiste Lallement in hopes of finding out whether
or not this is a true iso-testing image. Apologies in advance because I
know that I've leaned on you a lot lately, and I know you're very, very
busy.

Title:
  Lubuntu oneiric alternate CD install fails to install lubuntu-desktop

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm testing the Lubuntu oneiric alternate CD 20110827-i386 and I've
  run through the process twice to be certain this could be reproduced.
  Upon completing the installation the installed size per gparted is
  only 952.79 MB, and trying to boot simply fails.

  If I boot into recovery mode via grub and select the netroot option
  running apt-get -f install shows nothing but running apt-get install
  lubuntu-desktop installs the full meal deal similar to what's seen
  after performing a cli/minimal install. I'll attach the apt logs if
  not included by apport-collect.
