In Debian Edu, we automatically search for error: in the installation
log to detect errors during installation. When PXE installing, I get
this one:
Jun 28 23:18:29 main-menu[555]: (process:2840): wget: server returned
error: HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
It is a bogus error message that is creating noise and confusion in
the Debian Edu test installation.
I've tried to track down where it come from, and as far as I
understand from the log it must originate from choose-mirror.
This is the relevant log fragment:

The URLs in the log seem to work, so I do not understand why wget is
complaining. Is there some other wget calls that are not reported to
the log?
The only wget calls I find in choose-mirror do not throw away error
messages. Perhaps they should? If so, this untested patch should
implement it:
debian/changelog
* Throw away stderr when calling wget, to avoid getting bogus error
messages in the installation log.
