Package: cdimage.debian.org Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-live@lists.debian.org
Found in testing of the 12.7.0 live images. Doing a live installation using calamares from either of these images fails if no network is available. Running /usr/sbin/bootloader-config fails to install the appropriate grub packages and times out after 600 seconds. Sequence of issues: 1. /etc/apt/sources.list for the image has deb.debian.org listed above the on-media packages. Has that changed in live-build? 2. Connman is running a DNS server on 127.0.0.1, which apt uses to look up deb.debian.org 3. That DNS server does not fail if no network is available. Instead, it hangs. The bootloader-config script eventually times out and the installation fails. The workaround is to configure networking and then things work, but offline installation is an important thing for some people.
