Public bug reported: I do a 10.04 netinstall whith a preseed file, using local mirrors for the repositories. Security repository is defined with d-i apt-setup/security_host string 192.168.40.2 d-i apt-setup/security_path string /mirror/ubuntu-security And the logs from the apache serving the mirror shows some attempts for http://192.168.40.2/ubuntu. So it looks like that '/ubuntu' is somewhere hardcoded in the installer.
When doing the same for lenny, I use apt-setup/security_host string 192.168.40.2/repomirror/debian-security and works without any issue ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820306 Title: debconf item apt-setup/security_path not fully honoured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/820306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
