Description William Kenney 2013-02-12 17:38:59 CET 
I've tried a ground up install of cauldron for two days in a
row and failure mode has been the same for both days. Attached
is the /root/drakx directory. My local repo is up to date from
mirrors.kernel.org

This is a 32-bit KDE install

Comment 3 Simon Hoare 2013-02-16 18:07:58 CET 
Could also not install Cauldron via the x86_64 boot.iso (have updated the architecture above).

Concretely, I chose "Other desktops" for Xfce. Then when the main installation began immediately after the desktop/software selection part, the progress bar appeared for a minute or so before the panel went totally blank. Hours later, the situation had not changed.

I tried this twice today on a German mirror and a Dutch mirror.

Wrong package.
update-alternatives just lacks a requires on perl-base...
Which should(?) have been automatic?

> Fixed.

I should be able to confirm this by Tue, California time.
That will give enough time for update(s) in the repo to
reach my local repo. Thanks Thierry.
