Package: debian-installer-launcher Version: 19+deb8u1 Severity: important Tags: d-i patch
Dear Maintainer, debian-installer-launcher doesn't load apt-cdrom-setup for the live installer. This is causing GRUB fail to install if no network connection is present, since apt-setup is disabling all local sources after install. Reproducible in: Debian Stable Live CD / DVD Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1- Start a VM or bare metal server without any network connection. 2- Boot a live Debian stable. 3- Install it via live environment. 4- GRUB packages will fail to install despite they're on the install medium. Expected outcome 4a- GRUB is installed using the repository embedded into the ISO. My research led me to the apt-cdrom-setup udeb, which is installed for normal installs, but not for the live-installs, hence I patched the debian-installer-launcher to force-load it via anna.
