Package: debian-installer Version: 20120930 Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Installing Debian Wheezy on a new machine behind a proxy.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? When choosing an installation mirror you are given the option to enter a proxy, when an invalid address is entered, fetching from the mirror fails and there are 3 choices: retry, chose aother mirror, ignore. The first obviously fails again, while the third gives you a very minimal install. The second option lets you choose the mirror again, and enter the proxy as well, however the new value does not appear to be used, but the old value is used instead. When entering the proxy correct the first time packages can be retrieved from the mirror normally. * What was the outcome of this action? Minimal system, due to failed proxy * What outcome did you expect instead? The new value should be used after choosing the mirror again. * Workaround: restarting the installer or fixing the proxy config after installation resolves the issue, in the second case, tasksel needs to be run manually -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 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-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
