Description Nikola Smolenski 2012-05-04 14:32:31 UTC 
Right now, with MediaWiki downloaded from git, the installer simply does not work, with the following error:

Broken variant table:

While I am not completely sure what is going on, I solved this by Gerrit change #6107, which I believe is a good idea anyway since IMO caching should not introduce errors on its own, but fail gracefully.
Comment 1 Nikola Smolenski 2012-05-04 14:33:11 UTC 
That would be https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,6107
Comment 2 Nikola Smolenski 2012-05-07 08:07:07 UTC 
I'm not sure I did this the right way, anyway there's a new approach in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/6785/
