I am having a problem after upgrading DRBL on Ubuntu 10.04 Server AMD64. Any pointers would be appreciated.
I added "deb [url]http://drbl.sourceforge.net/drbl-core[/url] drbl stable" to sources.list and installed drbl about a year ago. I have had no problems in upgrading until now. This AM, while trying to upgrade installed packages, I received this error:

Has anyone seen this before? My next move is to comment out the sourceforge repo in sources.list and try to see if the syslinux packages from the standard repos can be installed.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hmm...I experience the same phenomenon when I try to install unstable from the repos. When I remove the sourceforge repo from sources.list, I am able to install the official version of syslinux without incident.
Is it possible that the xz compression used in syslinux-common_2%3a4.06+dfsg-1.drbl1_all.deb and syslinux_2%3a4.06+dfsg-1.drbl1_all.deb from the sourceforge repo is (incompatible with ubuntu 10.04 and) to blame for the dpkg failure?
I can build this from source if I have to, but I prefer the automated upgrades and simplicity that comes along with just being able to install from the repo.

The drbl stable package installed this morning without incident. I haven't yet done an imaging test run, but everything appears to be working. Thank you for this excellent software and the quick response!

This issue should be fixed in the stable release. Please try it again and if any problem, please let us know. Thanks.
