Bug#765458: apt: broken cdrom support, breaking installation from weekly ISO images
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.2
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks d-i

Hi,
we received several bug reports about weekly installation images being
unable to find a kernel package to install on the freshly debootstrapped
system. I've been able to replicate this issue with apt 1.9.0.2. Various
checks performed within the /target chroot in the installer context
include:
- sources.list is containing a well-formed cdrom deb line;
- moving this file away and running "apt-cdrom add" adds it back;
- apt-get update fails to proceed, and no Packages file ends up under
/var/lib/apt/lists/, which explains d-i's failure to find a kernel
package to install.
- downgrading apt, apt-utils, libapt-inst1.5, libapt-pkg4.12 to their
1.0.9.1 versions makes it possible to run apt-get update, even if
its output isn't very encouraging (it's attached), and the expected
Packages file pops up under /var/lib/apt/lists/;
- since I don't want to screw up with apt's internal data under
/var/lib/apt/, I can't confirm whether the output with downgraded
*apt* packages is a result of various runs with the new and the old
versions, or something else.
I'll try to figure out whether 801745284905e7962aa77a9f37a6b4e7fcdc19d0
and/or d916e2a93b798e29d342e9498266767c5be8e2a5 are responsible for
this, but the fact apt is pulled during debootstrap might make the
debian-cd tweak for including local packages a bit less straightforward
than usual.
Mraw,
KiBi.
