Bug#1107392: Trixie netboot installation fails / busybox-udeb upgrade replaces wget utility
Package: installation-reports
Hello,
installing trixie using PXE netboot no longer works for me.
The installation fails with "anna[8234] busybox wget does not support
https" right after the "Loading additional components" step.
The initrd from
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/main/installer-amd64/20250515/images/
contains "busybox-udeb 1:1.37.0-4 amd64" and "wget-udeb 1.25.0-2 amd64".
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.xz
however references the newer busybox-udeb version "1:1.37.0-5".
The debian installer downloads and installs the new busybox-udeb, which
replaces the /bin/wget utility.
The next wget download, for libc6-udeb via https, fails.
N.b.: I'm creating regular snapshots from the public debian mirror and
put them onto my local https server, to which I point the preseed file.
Cheers.
