[Bug 995140] Re: xserver-xorg-video-all fails to install from ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso

[Christian Csar]

This bug also affects Xubuntu's amd64 alternate image.
I'd have to rate the bug as pretty serious (if I had the power to do so). Unless I'm very much mistaken a new ISO needs to be spun up.
In case the implications of this bug are not clear:
1. Everyone who runs the built in integrity check will see it fail.
2. Everyone who attempts a normal alternate installation will see their installation fail after wasting an hour or so.

In short this really needs to be fixed for 12.04, and almost certainly
deserves immediate attention.

Title:
  xserver-xorg-video-all fails to install from ubuntu-12.04-alternate-
  amd64.iso

Status in “pkgsel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce:
  - Download ubuntu-12.04-alternate-amd64.iso, sha256sum: f8d54df0afbab6a6248f6e2bcab3e68f01c04d52b0bb1f889d880ad3bc881ccb
  - Burn it to a USB flash drive from a completely up-to-date Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with UNetbootin
  - Install on a machine with no network connectivity

  Current behaviour:
  - xserver-xorg-video-all fails to install with an error message saying it was because two of its dependencies were not found: xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

  Expected behaviour:
  - The install completes successfully

  Thoughts:
  I suspect this is because, whilst present on the iso, their filenames have been truncated:

  ./pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-
  ati_6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2_.deb

  and

  ./pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/xserver-xorg-video-
  nouveau_0.0.16+git20111201+b5534a1-1build2.deb

  i.e. the filename does not end "_amd64.deb"
