Colin, I don't think the testcase in the description is quite correct. I used the netboot image from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists /hardy- proposed/main/installer-i386/20070308ubuntu40.7/images/netboot/mini.iso with an apt-setup/security_host option that pointed to an non-available ip address. There's no mention of security.ubuntu.com in the resultant /var/log/installer/syslog; however, the security archive information was successfully pulled from:
base-installer: Get:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release.gpg [189B] base-installer: Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release [58.5kB] base-installer: Get:7 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages [114kB] base-installer: Get:8 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Packages [7487B] which is what I would expect would happen if $MIRROR is used instead of $SECMIRROR, based on the code snippet above. I do note that later on apt-setup fails to download the hardy-security repo from the non- reachable ip address, and (I believe, but need to reverify) that /etc/apt/sources.list was set up correctly to point to the alternate security host (which confuses me based on the code snippet above). Using the same netboot image, with the same apt-setup/security_host option plus the addition apt-set/proposed=true argument, those downloads fail with: base-installer: Err http://192.168.1.210 hardy-security Release.gpg base-installer: Could not connect to 192.168.1.210:3142 (192.168.1.210). - connect (111 Connection refused) base-installer: W: base-installer: Failed to fetch http://192.168.1.210:3142/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Release.gpg Could not connect to 192.168.1.210:3142 (192.168.1.210). - connect (111 Connection refused) base-installer: base-installer: W: base-installer: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. base-installer: base-installer: W: base-installer: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems base-installer: (In both instances there were non-relevant lines interspersed that I removed, but I'll attach the syslog from both runs.) I *think* this issue is verified for hardy, but I'd like confirmation from Colin on this. ** Attachment added: "non-proposed /var/log/installer/syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21201460/syslog -- apt-setup/security_host is ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306356 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
