Bug#760042: debian-installer-7.0-netboot-i386: Adding backports to preseed disables networking
Package: debian-installer-7.0-netboot-i386
Version: 20130613+deb7u2.b1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
By adding backports to the preseed file.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Added following lines to the preseed file:
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian
wheezy-backports main
d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string Debian Backports repository
* What was the outcome of this action?
Installation goes throug ok but after reboot networking is disabled,
"ifconfig" and "ip add" both return absolutely nothing.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would have network connection.
* Extra info
When removing those 2 lines from preseed, installation goes through ok
and network is working as should.
So some packages are installed from backports though they obviously
should not be.
Diff between files of working installation (dpkg -l > normal.txt) and
non-working (dpkg -l > fail.txt):
