Package: choose-mirror Version: N/A; reported 2004-08-26 Severity: normal
Using choose-mirror in a daily netinst tarball downloaded 2004-08-24, a problem arose trying use to a web-proxy that authenticates against a windows domain, requiring the following syntax: http://DOMAN\user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ If used on the command line, it must be: a# http_proxy=http://DOMAN\\user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ wget <blah> but for the entirety of setup process except the first usage by choose-mirror, the backslash does not need to be doubled.
Choose-mirror itself is not undoubling the \'s, since it goes into the
debconf database with \\, but I suspect it once calls wget like a#
above, while anna uses net-retriever which only works if the response
from debconf has a single \.
First guess, it's getting eaten by a shell. Arguably, this is correct behaviour:-)
What happens if you use the syntactically-correct slash instead of the backslash?
