[Bug 1067970] Re: ubuntu server ppc quantal server fails on linux-image-server

[Colin Watson]

Never mind, I tracked down the test case details.  Your guess was right
and this is indeed a bug in the preseed file; the line "d-i base-
installer/kernel/override-image string linux-image-server" should be
dropped, as it's at best a no-op nowadays and breaks both non-x86
architectures and amd64 systems requiring secure boot.  I've asked
Carlos on IRC to fix that.

In the meantime, closing this bug as it's not a bug in the installer.
If you're feeling particularly enthusiastic, perhaps you might take a
local copy of that preseed file without the offending line and try again
...

Title:
  ubuntu server ppc quantal server fails on linux-image-server

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  i'm not sure if the issue here is linux-image-server or the installer
  or the preseed. i'm inclined to believe the latter because most of the
  server testcases seem copied from x86 (they refer to grub and not
  yaboot).

  in any case everything seems to go just peachy until installing
  packages, specifically failing on linux-image-server. i get the usual
  business that it's not available but referred to by another package.
  furthermore, it says it has no installation candidate and pkgsel fails
  with error code 100. i gather this is all standard fare for saying
  that whenever it tried to install linux-image-server, it couldn't find
  it. perhaps there's no ppc package with this name?

  btw this is with 20121017.2.
