Bug Description

Binary package hint: mondo

There is no version 2.22 for mondo. I guess it must be 2.2.2 or 2 dot 2 dot 2 not 2 dot 22. The mondo website has 2.2.5 as the latest version as of Nov. 17, 2007. Furthermore, 2.2.2 or (the wrong 2.22 version) has a critical bug that simply does not work when restoring a backuped system. So, two things should be corrected.

0. The latest version is 2.2.5 from mondo website.
1. The version number must be 2.2.2 not 2.22, and otherwise the latest version won't be updated for good until we have 2.23 which I guess we may not have.

Thank you,

Sang Chul

This isn't possible to fix until upstream reaches 3.x.x. We have 2.2.4 in Hardy.

Yeah, this is a bummer. Here's a workaround. It will work until mindi makes it to 2.1 or mondo makes it to 2.3.

1. Add the unofficial mondo ubuntu repository to your sources:
cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/8.10/mondorescue.sources.list
sudo cp mondorescue.sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d
sudo apt-get update

Alternatively you could manually install the appropriate .deb files. You'll still want to add the preferences file, otherwise they will be replaced on the next upgrade.

Add a new file /etc/apt/preferences with the following content (sudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences)

Package: mondo
Pin: version 2.2.*
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: mindi
Pin: version 2.0.*
Pin-Priority: 1000

Then just perform: sudo apt-get upgrade and it should inform you that it wants to downgrade mindi and mondo.

This will track the unofficial mondo repository until mondo >= 2.3 or mindi >=2.1. At that point, you'll want to update your preferences file.
