Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

CD/DVD VARIANT: 32bit Ubuntu Alternate cd, 64bit Ubuntu Alternate cd, 32bit Xubuntu Alternate cd, 64bit Xubuntu Alternate cd
ISO BUILD: 20080728 and 20090729
SYMPTOMS: Test installation of daily image of Karmic Alternate CD. Installation on both VirtualBox and Hardware install proceeds to "Select and Install Software". After about 12%, the installation fails. There are no errors in the daily log reports or the report.html.

The pertinent error in the syslog appears to be:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
system-config-printer-udev: Conflicts: hal-cups-utils but 0.6.19+git20090217-0ubuntu7 is to be installed
E:
Broken packages

Confirmed with davmor2 on freenode.net/#ubuntu-release and was able to verify the error.

Same here when installing Xubuntu Desktop Karmic AMD64 with debootstrap and tasksel on Karmic AMD64 (updated 31/07/2009). Manually installing the packages won't work.

Relevant piece of the output of # apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^

Sommige pakketten konden niet geïnstalleerd worden. Dit kan betekenen dat u
een onmogelijke situatie gevraagd hebt of dat u de 'unstable'-distributie
gebruikt en sommige benodigde pakketten nog vastzitten in 'incoming'.
De volgende informatie helpt u mogelijk verder:

De volgende pakketten hebben niet-voldane vereisten:

In general this sort of thing isn't an installer bug, and should be
reassigned to the package for which the broken dependencies are
reported. (I don't quite have time right now to dig into it to find the
correct reassignment target, though.)

The Kubuntu and Xubuntu seeds probably need to have the same fix applied to them.

affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) → kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
