Bug Description

It seems that the file libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb has the incorrect permissions assigned to it in the respository.

Trying to download it gives an error. This is the result of "sudo apt-get upgrade":

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main libmysqlclient16 7.0.9-1
  403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-cluster-7.0/libmysqlclient16_7.0.9-1_amd64.deb 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, try running apt-get update or apt-get --fix-missing.

Not a big deal, it just halts the upgrade. Running "sudo apt-get --fix-missing" does absolutely nothing. (Gives a list of apt-get commands.)

Answers to questions suggested below:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.

not relevant.

3) What you expected to happen

For a workaround you can do what I do and download from a mirror

Errr... ok fine, let's try a mirror:

Still no, at least this worked:

...

Still a fix would be nice. This mirror was uptodate - so maybe the problem has been fixed, it just hasn't been pushed out?

24-hours later, this fix hasn't found it's way to a lot of mirrors, however, setting the source to ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net does seem to function as a viable workaround.

Not sure why a simple permission problem is taking so long to fix, but good to have an alternate method to get updates.

Last time this happened, it was with python and it was due to a very big bug pythoin had that would crash all machines that upgraded it.
I hope this is not the case, but I suggest NOT to download it from other mirrors in order to prevent problems with your distro.
At least until an official answer.

I installed it last night and had some issues with the install not completing, but they seem unrelated, as I have been having similar issues with other upgrades lately as well. Though the advice not to install it may still be wise, it didn't wreck my computer. (=

Downloading the file from a mirror is not the right thing to do. The file is marked unreadable because it's not *meant* to be downloaded; this bug will be fixed today when it's replaced by a correct version of the library in question.

So the bug here is not the permissions, at all, which is why they haven't been fixed. The bug is the package that the permissions are trying to protect users from downloading.

This issue should be mentioned in the lucid release notes, and in the alpha-3 announcement, to let users know they need to downgrade the package for security support if they managed to install the wrong one.

Are you referring to the Lucid *alpha3* release notes - or the *final* release notes?
