Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

yesterday I downloaded the current Netinstall iso image for stretch to 
install stretch on a new maschine (Laptop with wired ethernet and wifi)


everything worked fine including DHCP configuration. But whe I tried to select 
a debian
mirror i was prompted there was an error due to a network problem or to an 
mirror
lackingg the requested debian version or platform although it was available on 
that mirror. 


Tried to find a workaround: 


it became clear there was some problem with DNS resolition: ping www.google.com 
failed  because of 
failure to resolve the domain name.

On mirror selection I chose to enter the data manually and I entered the IP of 
my mirror server
instead of its FQDN and it worked than. 


/etc/resolve.conf had the DNS server my DHCP server announces - no idea what 
went wrong. 


Thank you very much, everything else worked flawless for me.


Sebastian
