permissions incorrect on libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb

I´ve assigned this bug to the libmysqlclient-lgpl package. Thank You for making Ubuntu better.

Could someone please just solve this issue. It's a simple problem shouldn't be taking long time to fix

For a workaround you can do what I do and download from a mirror

Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-cluster-7.0/libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]

Errr... ok fine, let's try a mirror:

/var/cache/apt/archives# wget http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-cluster-7.0/libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb

Still no, at least this worked:

/var/cache/apt/archives# wget http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-cluster-7.0/libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb

Still a fix would be nice. This mirror was uptodate - so maybe the problem has been fixed, it just hasn't been pushed out?

24-hours later, this fix hasn't found it's way to a lot of mirrors, however, setting the source to ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net does seem to function as a viable workaround.

Not sure why a simple permission problem is taking so long to fix, but good to have an alternate method to get updates.

Last time this happened, it was with python and it was due to a very big bug pythoin had that would crash all machines that upgraded it.
I hope this is not the case, but I suggest NOT to download it from other mirrors in order to prevent problems with your distro.
At least until an official answer.

I installed it last night and had some issues with the install not completing, but they seem unrelated, as I have been having similar issues with other upgrades lately as well. Though the advice not to install it may still be wise, it didn't wreck my computer. (=

Downloading the file from a mirror is not the right thing to do. The file is marked unreadable because it's not *meant* to be downloaded; this bug will be fixed today when it's replaced by a correct version of the library in question.

So the bug here is not the permissions, at all, which is why they haven't been fixed. The bug is the package that the permissions are trying to protect users from downloading.

This bug was fixed in the package mysql-dfsg-5.1 - 5.1.41-3ubuntu5

---------------
mysql-dfsg-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low

  * No-change rebuild to clean up after the mysql-cluster-7.0 accident.

This issue should be mentioned in the lucid release notes, and in the alpha-3 announcement, to let users know they need to downgrade the package for security support if they managed to install the wrong one.

Are you referring to the Lucid *alpha3* release notes - or the *final* release notes?

Il suppose the alpha3 notes, as this was fixed before alpha3 and final users
won't be affected

I mean both the alpha3 and final release notes, fwiw.

Opened a task on update-manager for this, after discussion with mvo. update-manager can run the equivalent of 'sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16/lucid' for us on upgrade, only smarter.

documented at both https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/TechnicalOverview.

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
