Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I used the i386 livecd 20070411 to install onto the hard disk of a machine without a usefully working network setup.

When I, during the install, attempted to remove multiverse and restricted (using System / Administration / Software sources), I got a brief view of a dialogue box with a bunch of errors in it.

Obviously without an idea of what the "bunch of errors" are it's pretty hard to know what might have failed. Could you please attach /var/log/syslog to this bug?

Changed in ubiquity:
assignee:	nobody → kamion
status:	Unconfirmed → Needs Info

It attempted to update the Packages files from the network which
obviously didn't work because there was no network. I'll attach
syslog if you really want but I don't think it will help :-).
