Installation and Upgrades / Install failure - "Failed to determine codename for release"
« on: July 28, 2011, 06:24:24 am »
Hi people
Tried to install Zentyal Server i386 2.0.4 after downloading cd ISO from Zentyal download site.
Made a cd from ISO after verifying ISO mdchecksum - ISO burned/verified with no detectable errors.
Verified CD from initial installer screen - no detected errors
After partitioning hard drive, receive the following error - "Failed to determine codename for release"
on the package installation phase
After searching the internet - both Zentyal forum, and Ubuntu forums finally found only one instance of this being reported here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1643938
It would appear this is a scripting error in the /var/lib/dpkg/cdrom-detect.postinstall file which is causing the script to exit prematurely before updating the debconf database.
Since I am not on a usable opensource OS (i.e. Linux) I am not able to find/fix the problem as listed in the above thread. Any suggestions as to how to open the iso, edit and correct the problem file, save the corrected file, and re-make the ISO would be appreciated.
