Could this backported to Dapper? It took me a long time to figure out why debootstrab in the installer works and installs the base system, but not the installation of the rest of the packages inside the chrooted /target.
And this included grub, so I couldn't boot into the new (halfway installed) system. Which made it really critical for me. Manually chroot into the target and removing the bogus proxy entry solved it. Side note: I used a local ftp mirror of the archive and preseeded the installation to use ftp as download method and entered the mirror settings manually. Perhaps thats why almost nobody else is seeing this bug, because everyone else is using http as download method. Side note++: I had something like "Acquire:::ftp:Proxy "false";" (ok, this is just from memory, but somewhere in between these : was ftp; can't remember the exact position; you get the idea) and not the above mentioned "Acquire::::Proxy "false";" -- apt cant work with disable proxy https://launchpad.net/bugs/47044 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
