Bug#590993: installation-reports: netboot install report broken mirror if installation CD is used as mirror
Frans Pop wrote: reassign 590993 debian-cd severity 590993 normal thanks Since you are trying something that's not really supported, this is certainly *not* a grave issue. After all, a CD image is not a mirror even if both contain a repository. It is correct that the error occurs because CD images have symlinks for all suites to the release (codename) included on the CD. This is mostly for historic reasons and no longer has any purpose (since current versions of the installer select by codename instead of suite). In a bit more detail. The latest versions of choose-mirror (including the current Etch and Lenny versions) perform validity checks on the Release files and will reject a mirror as broken if the Release file under a suite symlink lists a different suite inside the Release file. It would be better if debian-cd was modified to only include the symlink for the suite actually specified in the Release file. Reassigning accordingly. Looks like my whole attempt to use the ISO image as netboot installation source is futile, as the files are not signed on the CD, so netinst gives up in the next step. This can be worked around by telling the installer to ignore the signatures. See the installation guide for details.

Please excuse that I have sent back the original message to all; this was not intended and a mistake that should not have happened. And thank you, I now understand the case.
