Public bug reported:

Hi,

I have a bug report from an Ubuntu user who tries to install with
netboot installer in a LAN behind a proxy (i.e. no direct internet
access). Source: probably http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/14.04/

The installation works fine in the first steps, you can switch to expert
mode, setup network stuff, select a mirror and specify your local proxy.
>From user POV, it looks like the base system is installed and then the
kernel questions comes. And when you select one, you get an orange
screen saying that there is some general problem.

I could not reproduce the problem first. Then I turned off the default-
route and voila: the pointless error screen emerged! In fact, the
installer apparently hides the bug first - there are download errors
occurred before the kernel question comes up. I could see it for a
split-second because I was watching the log console. But when the error
screen appears, the real error report was already scrolled away from the
log console buffer.

Now please have a look at the log (see attachment). Looks like there is
the port of my proxy (3142), and then an :80 appended, and it tries to
resolve this as a hostname. Why? Doesn't make any sense!
