[Bug 1570029] Re: [Regression] busybox-initramfs package cannot be installed on 16.04 for s390x

Right, sorry, I forget about proxy/firewall not helping rmadison to
work. I guess I am lucky, at my work place I have unrestricted internet
access, without proxies, and I am free to contribute any patches to any
open source projects =)

Title:
  [Regression] busybox-initramfs package cannot be installed on 16.04
  for s390x

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in sysconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Installer version: 446
  Kernel: 4.4.0.18
  Description/Reproduction: During an installation test I found out, that there is a problem when trying to install Ubuntu. I tried various constellations, i.e. VM with DASD, LPAR with SCSI and with DASD. The result is the same. 
  The installation fails with "Debootstrap warning. Warning: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times" After that, the installer says "Unable to install busybox-initramfs. An error was returned while trying to install the busybox-initramfs package onto the target system."

  I will attach the log files of my various installation attempts.

  Hi Luciano, if you mean by "regression", if it has worked before? Then yes. 
  My guess is that it is not a problem of the installer but a problem of this package "busybox-initramfs".
