[Bug 1000219] [NEW] cobbler does not recognise 12.04 server iso

[Pierre Amadio]

Public bug reported:

I installed cobbler on a kvm vm and wish to use it to deploy vm.

I try to deploy a ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso system that i have
imported in cobbler:

mkdir /home/ubuntu/iso
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso /home/ubuntu/iso
sudo cobbler import --path=/home/ubuntu/iso/ --name=precise
sudo cobbler sync

I know the iso is ok because i used it to install the cobbler system
itself.

Now, when i deploy a system with cobbler, it stop when trying to access
a mirror.

/var/log/syslog of the failing system tells something like:

choose-mirror[3474] DEBUG command: wget -q http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/precise/Release -O - | grep -E '^(Suite|Codename):'
choose-mirror[3474] WARNING **: broken mirror: invalid Suite or Codename in Release file for $suite

Now, from the hypervisor, a tcpdump show that the vm was able to access
http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/precise/Release

##############################
GET /ubuntu//dists/precise/Release HTTP/1.1
Host: gb.archive.ubuntu.com
User-Agent: Wget
Connection: close

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
...
###############################

I can also wget it by hand on a console on the machine being installed,
and the file i get actually contains lines such as:

Suite: precise
Codename: precise

Things works ok if I import an iso with "cobbler-ubuntu-import precise-
amd64" though.
