Package: netcfg
Followup-For: Bug #1072526
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to add my own anecdotal experience with this bug and the trixie
net installer iso,
and also add the keywords that should cause this report to show up in web
search results (for those affected):
The mirror does not support the specified release (trixie).
* What led up to the situation?
I agree with the original report that this situation is most prominent
when the system
can have connectivity via IPv6 only (and DHCP6).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Effective: Applying the IPv6 manually to the system after the network
detection step.
Effective: Running the installer with IPv4 connectivity.
Ineffective: Trying different debian mirrors.
Ineffective: Tampering with the APT sources (as web search results
often recommended).
* What was the outcome of this action?
The net installer reaches the step where it would be downloading
packages to set up the
system, but then it fails with the message:
The mirror does not support the specified release (trixie).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The installer would show the progress of downloading and installing
system packages.
Note: This bug does not exist in Debian 12 (Bookworm)'s installer when testing
with the same exact hardware configuration.
