Andreas Cadhalpun <andreas.cadhalpun@googlemail.com> (2014-03-08):I generally agree that it would be good to have an alpha 1 installer to use for testing regressions of this patch, but on the other hand using loopmount to install Debian *works*.Sorry, but until it's been pushed to the masses, I can't blindly trust that. Many moving parts already, not going to add a critical one when we already have a (known) regression in apt-setup/apt-cdrom. Especially not a few days before a release.
I didn't really suggest applying the patch without further testing from someone other than me. I just wanted to express my amazement that loopmount works, while the usual way doesn't.
I looked more closely and found that commenting out the following in 40cdrom fixes the problem:
# Allow apt-cdrom to manage mounting/unmounting CDs in /target if [ "$cd_mountable" ]; then rm -f $ROOT/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00NoMountCDROM $logoutput umount /target/media/cdrom* || true $logoutput umount /cdrom || true fi At least I managed to install Debian jessie in a Virtual Machine.So if there are no compelling reasons to have this (Note: I don't know, what this is supposed to do.), I would suggest removing this as a fix for Bug #740673.
