Package: netcfg Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
Much like netcfg/get_hostname, a manually preseeded netcfg/get_domain is overridden by DHCP. This is similar to #544513. For the hostname a second debconf key is available to force the hostname to that value, but for domain this value does not appear to exist. That makes it impossible to preseed a domainname when installing in a network that provides one, when it is different from what it should be. For example when installing a server destined for a datacenter or customer while in one's office. This then causes problems with for example preseeding a puppet installation. Either preseeded netcfg/get_domain values should take precedence over anything gathered from the network, or a separate key should be provided that does. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
