** Description changed:
- I do a 10.04 netinstall whith a preseed file, using local mirrors for the
repositories. Security repository is defined with
+ Stable release update justification:
+
+ Impact: When the -security URL uses some path other than /ubuntu, security
updates may not be installed as early during installation as they're supposed
to be, and it's possible that there are corner cases where the -security
entries are never set up correctly.
+ Development branch: Fixed in base-installer 1.119ubuntu4.
+ Patch:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/base-installer/ubuntu/revision/959
+ TEST CASE: Find a -security mirror which is not rooted at /ubuntu. Use
preseeding similar to that used in the original report to select it during a
server installation. Look for 404 errors referring to Ubuntu in the logs
during the base-installer phase of installation: there should be none. You
will need to use the 'apt-setup/proposed=true' boot parameter to test the
proposed update for this bug.
+ Regression potential: As long as installations complete successfully and the
'apt-get update' during base-installer is free of errors, we should be fine.
+
+ Original report follows:
+
+ I do a 10.04 netinstall with 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
