[Bug 765224] Re: import from mini.iso fails

[Andres Rodriguez]

Ok so after looking at it now, it seems that the issue is
self.process_repos() when issuing the following command:

cobbler import --name=natty-i386 --path=/mnt --breed=ubuntu --os-
version=natty

Apparently there's some kind of incompatibilities as there are two
functions with the same name. One does nothing, the other creates
repositories for the newly added distros and is hardcoded to:

repo.set_mirror( "http://ftp.%s.debian.org/debian/dists/%s" % ( 'us' , '@@suite@@' ) )
and
security_repo.set_mirror( "http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/%s/updates" % '@@suite@@' )

However, this function doesn't in fact seem to be used at all and I
believe it might not even be necessary. or, it was some left over from
unfinished code. I'd say that for now, the safest bet would be to not
call the function in question to avoid the failure.

When doing so, the mini ISO imports correctly and as mentioned, but it
does not point to any preseed (and the ISO doesn't come with any
either).

I'll keep investigating but for now It will just be enough to patch that
out (ignore the call to the function).
