d-i compilation fails

[سید حسن فیروزآبادی]

Dear Colin Watson
Thank you :). by writing the steps and testing it, I realized that I'm
using too many sections (main main/debian-installer universe
multiverse) in my sources.list.udeb.local file. Doing a make
reallyclean and modifying sources.list.udeb.local resolved the issue.
Regards
