The IP workaround doesn't work because archive.ubuntu.com is a virutal host (ie it needs the Host: header in the HTTP request). What I did to work around that was add this to my preseed.cfg. Adjust as needed
d-i preseed/early_command string echo "91.189.88.161 archive.ubuntu.com" >> /etc/hosts && echo "hosts: files dns" >> /etc/nsswitch.conf I added the dns in there just in case it happened to start working again :) Of course, add other IPs/names that you need. If you need a lot, not sure. I was playing with the idea of trying to get it to install 6.9 only, but I couldn't figure out how to tell it to do that (and the early_command is too soon, and the late_command is too late). It'd be great if 6.10 could be rolled back for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to eglibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674532 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 broken during PXE boot Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing the libc6_2.19-0ubuntu6.10_amd64_udeb package during the automated install of ubuntu 14.04.5, the system was suddenly unable to resolve hostnames via dns. Installing -0ubuntu6.9 resolved the issue. Reinstalling -ubuntu6.10 broke the system again. I note that -ubuntu6.10 was recently added to the archive. I am currently unable to install Ubuntu 14.04.5.
