Package: fai-server Version: 3.2.14 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
fai-mirror uses /etc/apt/ of the host system and overwrites the path to
sources.list only. This will cause fai-mirror to e.g. use the host
system's apt_preferences(5) file which can lead to problems e.g. when
pinning testing/unstable to -1 on the host [1] but creating a testing/
unstable mirror.
The attached patch sets apt's Dir::Etc option to $aptcache/etc/apt which
fixes this issue and allows to specify custom apt configurations to be
used with fai-mirror. As a side-note: this would also allow to create
different mirrors with different configurations each.
Cheers,
Sebastian
[1] This e.g. happens if you have testing/unstable in the sources.list
but disabled to be able to manually install new versions of arch:all
packages (which are usually not allowed in backports.org).
