[Bug 1679220] Re: Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool

[Phillip Susi]

I'm not sure there is any legitimate case for booting $RELEASE1 and
trying to have the installer install $RELEASE2.  And even if there were,
you can't do that now anyhow.  It should be as simple as having apt-
cdrom check lsb_release, and only look in that pool directory instead of
searching them all.

Title:
  Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Frequently people reuse a USB stick to install another release, and
  the install fails because apt tries to pull packages from the wrong
  release.  Apt should only be looking in the pool for the current
  release rather than everything it can find.
