Ubuntu 16.04 installer observation
-
I noticed today that Ubuntu 16.04 failed it’s installation test on the
dev-branch
. This is unusual for Ubuntu. Normally, Ubuntu passes it’s installation tests.Attached are the logs from the run.

That looks to be the case. Just a fluke. Today, it installed fine.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne for pointing this out. I don’t check on this too often and didn’t notice it.
The first error we see in the logs is:
E: gzread: Read error (-3: <fd:5>: requested length does not fit in int) E: Prior errors apply to /var/cache/apt/archives/libfontconfig1_2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb ...
This happens when the FOG installer tries to install package
htmldocs
. After that first error we see it actually installing a few of the dependency packages but then failing with:Unpacking libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64 (2.4.91-2~16.04.1) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute package filesystem archive extraction (dpkg-deb): Text file busy dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libdrm-amdgpu1_2.4.91-2~16.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 ...
From then on more an more package installs fail. To me it looks like a disk error or local package database being corrupted if I’d guess. But could be wrong just as well.
