Thomas,
Unfortunately, running the previous version of ubuntu can no longer be
considered "running fine" as it has been desupported by the vendor, and
all cluster workstations should have automatically updated to the
current version. That said, I believe we are waiting from someone on
release-team to investigate the issue of why you are unable to
re-install these machines, and there isn't anything to be done until
that happens.
Thanks for keeping this issue active,
Jonathon
