I am trying to add a local reprepro created repository containing some
custom debs along with all the deps that get hauled in with it. I built
the repository by installing a stock 7.7, then apt-getting all software
and retrieving the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives.
Fired up reprepro to build the repository (containing both i386 and amd64)
and reprepro chugs away and builds the repository without issues.
reprepro config
Origin: Wheezy
Label: Wheezy install
Codename: wheezy
Architectures: i386 amd64
Components: main
Description: Apt repository for Install
The repository relative to the root of the iso is at
/ads/apt/debian
test@textbox:/var/opt/wheezy/master/ads/apt$ tree
.
`-- debian
|-- dists
| `-- wheezy
| |-- Release
| `-- main
| |-- binary-amd64
| | |-- Packages
| | |-- Packages.gz
| | `-- Release
| `-- binary-i386
| |-- Packages
| |-- Packages.gz
| `-- Release
`-- pool
Pertinent entries in my preseed are
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \
file:/ads/apt/debian wheezy main
d-i debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated boolean true
Preseeded install works fine, installs the base system, but the
additional repository never gets configured properly, resulting in the
additional software not getting installed. But leaves a usable stock
system.

I've tried changing the apt-setup/local0/repository string to each of the
following and each time it fails to find the Packages file.
file:/media/cdrom/ads/apt...
file:/cdrom/ads/apt...
I know the repo does work, after booting into the freshly installed
system and mounting the cdrom, I can fix sources.list to point to
/media/cdrom/ads/apt/debian and apt will update and install all apps fine.
I had this working at one point with a simple repo using dpkg-scanpackages,
but once we had to install i386 and amd64, started using reprepro to build
the repo. So I'm assuming I've got some kind of syntax error/typo here.
Thanks
