Bug Description
1. Try to install libwv-1.2-3 (or AbiWord, which depends on it) by any method.
What happens: It doesn't work.
What should happen: It does.
Err http://
404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
mpt@zephyr:~$
(Neither apt-get update nor --fix-missing helps.)
Andrew Glen-Young and I have discovered that:
- wv was apparently promoted from Universe to Main in May 2008 (bug 215209).
- However, <https:/
- apt-cache madison says it's in Universe too:
--------------
mpt@zephyr:~$ apt-cache madison libwv-1.2-3
libwv-1.2-3 | 1.2.4-2ubuntu3 | http://
wv | 1.2.4-2ubuntu3 | http://
--------------
- Despite that, the package is in the main/ directory on archive.ubuntu.com. <http://
- On some of the mirrors, the package is in both the main/ *and* universe/ directories.
- Until a manual sync on 2011-09-01, the gb. mirror had symlinks from where the package would have been in universe/ to where it would have been in main/, and these symlinks were broken.
