[Bug 1683713] Re: Cannot install on ubuntu 14.04

[Florin Baca]

Hello,

We have also started to see the same issue starting today. We have
network automated installs which are installing Ubuntu and these are now
failing.

The issue is related to update-manager-core, version 1:0.196.23 is
trying to be installed but only 1:0.196.11 is provided. Initially I
suspected it could be due to the squid-deb-proxy we are using so I
removed the complete cache but this didn't solve the issue. Also changed
the links of the repositories, same issue.

On the system to be installed I can only see 1:0.196.11 when running
apt-cache showpkg. On systems I have running for a longer time showpkg
shows the 1:0.196.23 version:

---------------------------------------------------------
root at aaa:~# apt-cache showpkg update-manager-core

---------------------------------------------------------

However, if I try to download this doesn't work:


------------------------------------
root at aaa:~# apt-get download update-manager-core
E: Can't find a source to download version '1:0.196.23' of 'update-manager-core:amd64'
------------------------------------

This works:

------------------------------------
root at aaa:~# apt-get download update-manager-core=1:0.196.11
Get:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main update-manager-core all 1:0.196.11 [5,278 B]
