Hello what a hideous bug.
Seen with KVM on Ubuntu 18.04, trying with this URL: http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64 solved with this URL: http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial- updates/main/installer-amd64 the real bug is in KVM that should provide tested URLs for main distros (even the Ubuntu distros :)) rather than vaguely handwawing toward the man page and letting unsuspecting users falling in traps like this one. this bug should be closed however, it is irrelevant now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817358 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 netboot installation failed during loading of installer component libc6-udeb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1817358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
