package: choose-mirror
tags 517644 + reopen
thanks
Hi,
I just tried to use the lenny installer to install an etch i386 system.
The same issue as before occurs, see the /var/log/installer/syslog
extract below.
I redid the install with suite="oldstable" in the PXE boot line and got
the same result. Unlike Jeremy's test back in March, the installer selects
'lenny-support' in both tests.
I am using the i386 netinst in the official mirrors, downloaded yesterday.
boot-screens/f1.txt says the build date was '20090123lenny1'.
However /var/log/installer/lsb-release is a little inconsistent:
DISTRIB_RELEASE="5.0 (lenny) - installer build 20090123"
Should it not be 20090123lenny1?
Did choose-mirror-2.28lenny2 not make it in to lenny 5.0r1?
How would I check that the installer I am using has the correct version
of choose-mirror?
Question: now that 'etch-support' is no longer in testing, is it now
not possibly to try using the squeeze installer to install "oldstable"?

As before I manually checked the wget commands and got the right answer,
ie oldstable/Release has Codename: etch. But as before the installer
resets choose-mirror/suite to 'stable'.
The mirror preseed contains these settings:
d-i mirror/protocol string http
d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
d-i mirror/http/countries select enter information manually
d-i mirror/http/hostname string apt-proxy:9999
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian/
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i mirror/suite string oldstable
d-i mirror/codename string etch
d-i apt-setup/services-select multiselect security
d-i apt-setup/security_host string apt-proxy:9999/security
d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
