Distro prep problems? (Ubuntu 11.04)

Post by A Nonny Moose »

On several occasions lately I've had to force installation of updates. The update-manager app; has been flagging some of them with an invalid permission code or some such. Perhaps the algorithm for this has changed with 11.04?

To force installation just run with:

sudo apt-get upgrade

You will be asked if you want to proceed, answer y
You will then be asked if you want to accept unverified updates. answer y

Report the problem to Ubuntu.

Is this at their end? Where are distro packages prepared? The problem appears to be with some sort of check sum not recognized by the apt updating system.

Does this end just pass the product as a naked binary or script?

Distros are responsible for building binary packages. WineHQ only provides the source.
