[Bug 1674532] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 broken during PXE boot

[Eric Horne]

I believe changing the preseed.cfg file to use an IP address for the
archive instead of the domain name will work around this; it's not a
good long term solution since it messes up ubuntu's dns load balancing,
but if you need to perform an install this might work. I'm in the
process of verifying this.

d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com

to

d-i mirror/http/hostname string (looked up ip address)

and... thank you all for quickly investigating the issue! :)

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 broken during PXE boot

Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing the libc6_2.19-0ubuntu6.10_amd64_udeb package during
  the automated install of ubuntu 14.04.5, the system was suddenly
  unable to resolve hostnames via dns. Installing -0ubuntu6.9 resolved
  the issue. Reinstalling -ubuntu6.10 broke the system again.

  I note that -ubuntu6.10 was recently added to the archive.

  I am currently unable to install Ubuntu 14.04.5.
