Hi Frits,
I will do some clarifications about debian-installer:
1.- A wrong name of the distribution in .disks/info may screws up in a
failure of the installer at the time of mounting /proc in the target.
But this is not the case.
2.- Although being OK all the Packages.gz, i.e. the indices in /dists/
folder of deb and udeb packages located in /pool/ folder, all the udeb
packages are also included implicitly in the /install/initrd.gz and
/install/gtk/initrd.gz ram-disk files -they are generated when building
debian-installer-, and all the md5sums must be the samein both one and
the other.
3.- As i said in another thread, there is a bug in live-installer.udeb
package. This bug was hacked by Philip Newboroug -Corenominal-, but i
think this is not neither the case. Here you are the changes, lines
63-83 of debian/live-installer.postinst:
https://gitlab.com/aitor_czr/live-installer/blob/master/debian/live-installer.postinst
I have to say that i don't use live-build for building debian-installer.
I build d-i manually because i use the kernel of the Free Software
Fundation, so i have to change all the kernel modules in it. Building
d-i manually gives me more flexibility.
I hopethis will help yousomewhat...
Finally, can you upload your configuration of live-build to some cloud?
Actually i can't help you because debmirror is failing. I supose that
Nextime is generating the Packages.gz and the Contents.gz of the
repository with Amprolla. Therefore let us be patience.
Cheers,
Aitor.

Hi,
a short update: Now I added the debian-installer component to my
experimental live DVD, and I can try to do an installation, but it
screws up in "installing the base system"
INFO: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' selected
base-installer: error: exiting on error
base-installer/debootstrap-failed
WARNING **: Configuring 'bootstrap-base' failed with error code 1
WARNING **: Menu item 'bootstrap-base' failed.
on the installation screen, it complained about the checksum of
debian-installer/Packages.gz and debian-installer/Packages
This seems to be a recurring error over the years with Debian and
Ubuntu...
I verified the MD5 checksums and they are all OK, so that's not the
*real* problem.
Any hints??
Frits
