[Bug 1196981] Re: Saucy server installations fail due to dependancy issues on python-newt

[Colin Watson]

This was squashfs/pool skew (made more probable by the outage on the
armhf builder this morning, so there was a relatively long delay between
building the squashfs and building the pool).  I kicked off a rebuild,
20130702.1, which looks like it should be better.

** Package changed: debian-installer (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-cdimage

** Changed in: ubuntu-cdimage
       Status: New => Fix Released

     sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:utah/stable
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install utah
  2. Run the default installation tests using
  sudo -u utah -i run_utah_tests.py -i /path/to/saucy-server-amd64.iso -p lp:ubuntu-test-cases/server/preseeds/default.preseed lp:ubuntu-test-cases/server/runlists/default.run -x /etc/utah/bridged-network-vm.xml
