[Bug 1023069] [NEW] Packages was corrupt

[Niklas Andersson]

Public bug reported:

Doing unattended kickstart-installation and during install I get a red
screen with "Warning: http://..../ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted
/binary-amd64/Packages was corrupt."

I have to click "Continue" to go on.

The file in question (Packages.gz) is only 20 bytes bit, same file on
ubuntu-12.04-desktop is a couple of kilobytes, that looks more
reasonable. "zcat Packages" reports no problem though. It looks like an
empty .gz-file.

There is nothing problem with my download. My downloaded iso has md5
9fcc322536575dda5879c279f0b142d7 just as it shold be.

Either there is a problem with Packages.gz that should have some
content, or it is a problem with the installer that detects an empty
.gz-file as "corrupt". Anyways - it's a bug.
