[Bug 1679220] Re: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool

[Phillip Susi]

To install the system in the first place of course.

Normally the installer iso contains a /pool directory with a single
release directory, but if someone later uses the usb creator to extract
another iso for another release, they end up with a /pool directory with
two different release directories under it, and apt searches both
releases for packages to install causing all sorts of problems.

Title:
  Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Frequently people reuse a USB stick to install another release, and
  the install fails because apt tries to pull packages from the wrong
  release.  Apt should only be looking in the pool for the current
  release rather than everything it can find.
