Yes, I think the test case is wrong - I should indeed have written
archive.ubuntu.com.*security (or some such) rather than
security.ubuntu.com. In fact I think this represents a pre-existing bug
in base-installer, but not a very serious one.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: base-installer
I call this a regression because I presume at some point it worked as
intended, but maybe it was dead on arrival... [cjwatson: It looks as if
it was dead on arrival.]
The apt-setup/security_host preseed is read, but completely ignored by
configure_apt() in library.sh, thusly:
if db_get apt-setup/security_host; then
SECMIRROR="$RET"
else
SECMIRROR="$MIRROR"
fi
echo "deb $PROTOCOL://$MIRROR/ubuntu $DISTRIBUTION-security
$COMPONENTS" >> /target/etc/apt/sources.list
TEST CASE: Start a netboot installation with apt-
setup/security_host=archive.ubuntu.com on the kernel command line, and
check whether the resulting /var/log/installer/syslog includes a line
- containing "base-installer:" and "security.ubuntu.com"; if so the test
- has failed. (Or, if you can, firewall off security.ubuntu.com from the
- test machine and test whether installation still works given that
- command-line parameter; this is more real-world but more effort to set
- up.)
+ containing all three of "base-installer:", "archive.ubuntu.com", and
+ "-security"; if so the test has failed. (Or, if you can, firewall off
+ archive.ubuntu.com or us.archive.ubuntu.com or whichever host it uses
+ from the test machine and test whether installation still works given
+ that command-line parameter; this is more real-world but more effort to
+ set up.)
This only affects netboot installs, not CD installs.
