Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163524

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Mike McNally]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

I've never had problems with the net installer previously, including for 1.2. 
However, upon trying the 1.2.1 net installer this morning I was met by immediate
failure.  I've re-tried several times and experience one of two behaviors:

1) Upon starting the component download, I very quickly get a "Fatal error
[-615]: Download failed" error, with "inspector.xpi" showing as the module being
installed.

2) Upon starting the download, I get a popup about a failure and a retry,
followed by a message about failure due to "multiple CRC failures".

I am not now using a proxy, nor have I ever used a proxy in the past.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download 1.2.1 net installer for Linux
2.Start installer
3.Finish installer wizard

Actual Results:  
Installation fails

Expected Results:  
Successfully install.

I'm asking for a custom install, with everything except mail/news and chat.

update: upon repeated retries, when I save modules on each try, the net
installer makes it to a point it considers successful, even though there's a
popup on the screen reading "Error [-621]: An Installer module deflenus.xpi
(.xpi) failed to install".  I'll see whether the browser in fact works.

I have reproduced this on a separate Linux installation with completely 
different Internet connectivity.

Dupe of Bug 178381?

According to bug 178831 comment 3, this is a dup of 163524.
