Public bug reported:

Installer version: Latest
https://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x

Description/Reproduction:
Start virt-install with the following options:

virt-install \
--name ubuntu20-guest1 \
--memory 4096 \
--vcpus 4 \
--disk "size=4" \
--location 
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x \
--network "network=default" 

Error:
ERROR    Error validating install location: Could not find an installable 
distribution at 
'http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x'

The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
See virt-install man page for various distro examples.


Looking at previous releases I would guess it expects an "images" directory 
instead of the new "classic-images" directory. I'm aware of the workaround to 
specify kernel/initramfs directly but that shouldn't be a solution.
