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

[Deekshith John Baby]

I got my mirror working after adding this line for selecting the local
mirror, by default the preseed file is selecting cc.archive.ubuntu.com
by adding the below line we can redirect the control to our local
mirror.

d-i mirror/http/mirror select my.local.mirror
d-i     mirror/country          string  manual
d-i     mirror/http/hostname    string  my.local.mirror
d-i     mirror/http/directory   string  /my/local/mirror-path
d-i     mirror/http/proxy       string

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.
