[Bug 775670] Re: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com

[Sebastien Clement]

This worked for me with Precise :

d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string local.mirror.fqdn
d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i mirror/http/mirror select local.mirror.fqdn

Title:
  Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com

Status in “preseed” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At some point, using a preseed to select a local mirror has stopped working.  
  I'm attempting to use a preseed on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.  Using the following preseed language:

  d-i mirror/protocol         string http
  d-i mirror/country          string US
  d-i mirror/http/mirror      string local-mirror.url
  d-i mirror/http/hostname    string local-mirror.url
  d-i apt-setup/security_host string local-mirror.url
  d-i mirror/http/directory   string /ubuntu
  d-i mirror/suite            string natty
  d-i mirror/http/proxy	    string 

  I still get us.archive.ubuntu.com as my mirror, which completely
  defeats the purpose of having a local mirror.
