** Summary changed:
- REGRESSION: apt-setup/security_host is ignored
+ apt-setup/security_host is ignored
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: base-installer
I call this a regression because I presume at some point it worked as
- intended, but maybe it was dead on arrival...
+ intended, but maybe it was dead on arrival... [cjwatson: It looks as if
+ it was dead on arrival.]
The apt-setup/security_host preseed is read, but completely ignored by
configure_apt() in library.sh, thusly:
if db_get apt-setup/security_host; then
SECMIRROR="$RET"
else
SECMIRROR="$MIRROR"
fi
echo "deb $PROTOCOL://$MIRROR/ubuntu $DISTRIBUTION-security
$COMPONENTS" >> /target/etc/apt/sources.list
+
+ TEST CASE: Start a netboot installation with apt-
+ setup/security_host=archive.ubuntu.com on the kernel command line, and
+ check whether the resulting /var/log/installer/syslog includes a line
+ containing "base-installer:" and "security.ubuntu.com"; if so the test
+ has failed. (Or, if you can, firewall off security.ubuntu.com from the
+ test machine and test whether installation still works given that
+ command-line parameter; this is more real-world but more effort to set
+ up.)
+
+ This only affects netboot installs, not CD installs.
