Title:
  Installation: download updates while installing seems to have done
  nothing

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was installing Ubuntu 12.10. This was a fresh install  into a newly
  made partition. The system was on the corporate LAN, which has
  functional DHCP, DNS and internet connectivity.  I selected "download
  updates while installing". The system installed normally - but the
  moment I went to install an additional package, I found that a large
  number [100s, I believe] of packages needed to be updated.  I used the
  Unity desktop's GUI tool to accomplish this, which worked fine - with
  no manual tinkering with my network settings at any time, beyond
  telling the installer the machine's name. (I.e. if internet access
  worked at that time, it should have worked before the post-install
  reboot.)

  Either this is a no-op, or it only installs _some_ of the needed
  updates - or it's very literal, and downloaded them without installing
  them, and the GUI tool found where it had placed them. [It doesn't
  give me as much visibility into what it's doing as if I'd used "apt-
  get upgrade".]

  I didn't see any error messages during the installation process. I
  don't know what may have been logged, and no longer have access to the
  system to check farther details.
