problem with automatix

[framinglory]

first off i must say i like the ce version of ubuntu, and have no problems with it at all, however i found a potentially problematic..problem

everytime i load the ubuntu ce installer (the one in system>adminitstration>ubuntu ce installer) and then close it later, instead of adding back the feisty automatix repository, it adds edgy, and i'm not sure why. fortunately it is of little consequence, for many reasons, a. i usually only click on the installer by accident, as i've installed everything i need from it. and b. i can just comment out the repository it adds.
However, it could be a potentially serious problem, as it tries to "update" automatix to the edgy version, which subsequently seems to have an affect on package managers after running automatix. unless i force automatix back to it's "old" version, i can't use apt-get or aptitude (i get the "cannot get a lock on sources" problem.)

to sum it up, ubuntu ce installer in system>administration is replacing my repositories incorrectly, which is obviously a problem.
if you need more information, just let me know.

Thanks for catching this. I am going to be working on an updated release of Ubuntu CE and this will be fixed in it.

God Bless, Jereme

Yes, I have had this same problem with Ubuntu CE 3.0, but I quit using that installer as it doesn't have anything I want in it. I did it once to see what was in it then it messed up my repos, so I haven't opened it since and actually it would also hang when trying to restore my repos to which messed things up even more.

glad i could help.
out of curiosity, do you know why it's doing this?

[mhancoc7]

Yes, one of the scripts used by the UCE Installer is appending the wrong sources to your sources.list file. I would advise not using it until the fix is released.

Thanks, Jereme
