Hi all, I have just configured a preseed file to include a local repository.
# Debian mirrors d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string local mirror d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string http://<repo_url> d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://<repo_key> The main issue I am facing here is that the repo is not added to the sources.list, as the Releases file expired some days ago, so I am not able to grab some packages I need. I know there is this option which can be added to the apt.conf file: Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false" which will ignore the fact that the Releases file expired some time ago. However, I really need a way to include this same option in the preseed file. For such purpose, I have been looking for possible solutions: 1. There is this german developer which seemed to be suffered from the same (https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2012/04/msg00382.html). Basically, he is suggested to try adding: d-i apt-setup/check_valid_until boolean false but I have tried that option, and it was not successful. 2. I thought about including something in the late_command stage to update the sources.list accordingly (i.e. executing in-target echo <my_mirror_information> >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/custom.list in-target apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until="false" update in-target apt-get upgrade However, I do believe this is not the proper way of solving the issue, since there is an apt-setup section prepared to deal with these issues. Is there any other solution which I can use in the preseed? Thank you very much! Alvaro
