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

[Eric Horne]

The IP workaround doesn't work because archive.ubuntu.com is a virutal
host (ie it needs the Host: header in the HTTP request). What I did to
work around that was add this to my preseed.cfg. Adjust as needed

d-i preseed/early_command string echo "91.189.88.161 archive.ubuntu.com"
>> /etc/hosts && echo "hosts: files dns" >> /etc/nsswitch.conf

I added the dns in there just in case it happened to start working again
:)

Of course, add other IPs/names that you need. If you need a lot, not
sure. I was playing with the idea of trying to get it to install 6.9
only, but I couldn't figure out how to tell it to do that (and the
early_command is too soon, and the late_command is too late).

It'd be great if 6.10 could be rolled back for now.

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.
