Bug#459612: debian-installer: bad interaction with not-empty /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Package: debian-installer
Version: svn r50786
Severity: normal

Hi,

debian-installer has bad interations with /etc/apt/sources.list.d when building e.g. the netboot installer (didn't try the other ones because I don't need them).

I have no /etc/apt/sources.list, but several /etc/apt/sources.list.d/{stable,testing,unstable,local,...}.sources.list and for the d-i build I created sources.list.udeb.local. But unfortunately it was still picking up all the sources from /etc/apt until I added the following switch in util/get-packages to the APT_GET variable:

        -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts=/dev/null

Now it's only using sources.list.udeb.local as expected.

Andreas
