[Bug 1031696] [NEW] incorrectly claims "no support for specified release"

[Julian Edwards]

Public bug reported:

In the netboot installer, it's failing to get past choose-mirror because
it claims that:

WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (precise)
INFO: mirror does not have any suite symlinks

However the wget command it is showing works fine in a busybox shell.
Please see the attached photos of both.

** Affects: choose-mirror (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
