local base-installer is ignored
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 08:34:47 main-menu[347]: DEBUG: resolver (base-installer): package doesn't exist (ignored)
How do you fix this?
Cheers,
