Source: apt-setup Version: 1:0.183 Severity: normal Tags: d-i X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
I sometimes use the current stable d-i to install the n-1 release when I need to install on hardware that requires a newer kernel, then I install the backport kernel in the preseed so the system boots. With the bookworm debian-installer, my local apt repo does not get successfully added to the system. After some debugging, I determined the issue is here: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/apt-setup/-/blob/master/generators/60local#L46 The /etc/apt/keyrings directory wasn't added to the apt package until apt 2.4.0, but bullseye only ships with 2.2.4. The fix here is simple and I believe it to be low risk: the generator just needs to run "mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings" at the beginning of 60local. Since newer versions of apt already create that empty directory it will be a no-op for them. In case anyone else runs into this issue and stumbles onto this bug, I was able to work around it by adding the following to my preseed: d-i partman/early_command string printf "#!/bin/sh\nmkdir -p \$ROOT/etc/apt/keyrings\n" > /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/02fixbug && chmod +x /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/02fixbug I understand that the current release is the main priority of d-i but given the fix seems to be low risk it would be appreciated if it could be fixed in stable! -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.3.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
