Package: live-installer Version: 49 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
live-installer cannot install bootloader when no network is present, below are the details. The Problem: live-installer disables install media as a source in file /target/etc/apt/sources.list too early, leading to bootloader install fail on non-networked systems. Problem is not reproducible on normal (directly booted) installer or systems with network connection (if you choose to use a network mirror). Diagnosing Steps: - Verified bug is not present in "normal / text mode" installer. - Verified that GRUB is present under /pool directory in install media. - Intervened installation before GRUB install, enabled the source and installation completed successfully. How to reproduce: 1. Get the latest Debian Stable Live DVD 2. Remove network connection from system. 3. Boot to desktop environment 4. Install system using Install Debian Jessie link. 5. At the end, you won't be able to install the boot loader. Expected outcome: 1. Get the latest Debian Stable Live DVD 2. Remove network connection from system. 3. Boot to desktop environment 4. Install system using Install Debian Jessie link. 5. Install completes successfully.
