[Bug 775670] Re: Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com

[Zubin]

Does anybody have an update on this?

I created a mirror repository of precise, both 32 bit and 64bit  on one
of my local servers using apt-mirror.  I'm trying to do a preseed
install from it, but it fails to work...

It says:

[!!] Download installer components

The installer failed to download a file from the mirror.  This may be a
problem with your network, or with the mirror.  You can choose to retry
the download, select a different mirror, or cancel and choose another
installation method.

Downloading a file failed:

- Retry
- Change mirror
- Cancel

My Preseed file looks like this:

Title:
  Using local mirror fails, preseed always hits us.archive.ubuntu.com

Status in “preseed” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At some point, using a preseed to select a local mirror has stopped working.  
  I'm attempting to use a preseed on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.  Using the following preseed language:

  d-i mirror/protocol         string http
  d-i mirror/country          string US
  d-i mirror/http/mirror      string local-mirror.url
  d-i mirror/http/hostname    string local-mirror.url
  d-i apt-setup/security_host string local-mirror.url
  d-i mirror/http/directory   string /ubuntu
  d-i mirror/suite            string natty
  d-i mirror/http/proxy	    string 

  I still get us.archive.ubuntu.com as my mirror, which completely
  defeats the purpose of having a local mirror.
