* Don't impose a prefix on places paths that are already URIs.

Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu 16.04 Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575652 Title: PXE install prefixes /cdrom to squashfs location, fails to find it Status in live-installer package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in live-installer source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in live-installer source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] This impacts any network installs specifying live-installer/net-image (ie. using live-installer to install using a squashfs instead of debootstrap) [Test case] 1) Boot on netinstall image to grub menu; it 'e' for edit; 2) Add 'live-installer/net-image=http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/xenial/daily/current/xenial-server-amd64.squashfs' to the linux line. 3) Hit F10 to boot with the changes. Installation should complete successfully. [Regression Potential] Minimal; this is meant to fix a bug that was introduced that currently breaks all uses of net-image that don't use a path relative to /cdrom, which used to be possible; and only enforces the proper handling of URIs as absolute paths instead of prepending them with '/cdrom'. URI-like syntax in typical filesystem paths is not something that is supported. --- Attempting to use PXE to install 16.04 results in an error dialog that states "The failing step is: Install the system". Checking syslog shows that it has prefixed the URL to the filesystem.squashfs with "/cdrom" and failed to find the file. base-installer: info: Downloading /cdromhttp://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs to /tmp/live-installer/filesystem.squashfs Setting the path to the filesystem.squashfs by either the "append" option in the PXE default file, or as a preseed option in the kickstart file both have the same result. My PXE menu option: LABEL Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop MENU LABEL Xenial 16.04 Desktop KERNEL 1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux append vga=normal ks=http://192.168.1.251/ks-1604-64-desktop.cfg initrd=1604/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz live-installer/net-image=http://192.168.1.251/ubuntu-1604.amd64/install/filesystem.squashfs biosdevname=0 I found a changelog for live-installer 51ubuntu1 dated 4/18/16 that states it strips /cdrom/ prefix from all places, but this does not appear to be happening. The log line points to base-installer rather than live-installer as the cause. This is from the 16.04 server release ISO, running base- installer_1.158ubuntu2_amd64 and live-installer_51ubuntu2_amd64 I would expect that locating the live-installer filesystem.squashfs would not prefix the specified URL with /cdrom. Previous versions of Ubuntu did not do this.
