Package: debian-installer Version: 20161031 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When trying to install a debian stretch VM using virt-install and a preseed URL, I found out to my surprise that it downloads /d-i/jessie/./preseed.cfg instead of /d-i/stretch/./preseed.cfg Actual command line used: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=stretch --file-size=2 \ --vcpus=1,maxvcpus=4 --memory=512,maxmemory=4096 --os-type=linux \ --os-variant=generic --graphics none --console pty,target_type=serial \ --extra-args 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial auto=true priority=critical url=ix' \ --location http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/ <http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/> I would expect that by using the stretch installer, it would also fetch a preseed from the stretch directory, and not from jessie. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
