local base-installer is ignored

[Free Ekanayaka <free@agnula.org>]

Hi,

in    order to workaround   bug     #254996 I've  prepared  a   custom
base-installer with a slightly modified postinst script.

The custom version of package resides in the  "local" component of the
repository on the CD-ROM, that means it's Package entry is in:
   
/cdrom/dists/sarge/local/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages

and the file is located in:

/cdrom/pool/local/b/base-installer/

while  the  official version  of the package  is  not included  in the
"main" sections, that means it's not listed in:

/cdrom/dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages

nor present in:

/cdrom/pool/main/b/base-installer/

The /cdrom/.disk/base_components file includes both components:

main
local

However anna and the menu complain that base-installer is not present:

Nov 10 08:34:17 anna[3217]: DEBUG: resolver (base-installer): package doesn't exist (ignored)    
[..]
Nov 10 08:34:21 main-menu[347]: DEBUG: resolver (base-installer): package doesn't exist (ignored)

[..]
Nov 10 08:34:47 main-menu[347]: DEBUG: resolver (base-installer): package doesn't exist (ignored)

How do you fix this?

Cheers,
