[Bug 331329] [NEW] Inability to contact security.ubuntu.com breaks ubuntu-vm-builder

[Jared]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-vm-builder

I am trying to create a KVM virtual machine using ubuntu-vm-builder on
Intrepid amd64.

Commandline:
 sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm intrepid --arch 'amd64'  --mem '128'  --rootsize '1890'  --swapsize '256'  --kernel-flavour 'generic'  --hostname 'kvm-master'  --mirror 'http://REMOVED:9999/ubuntu'  --components 'main,restricted,universe'  --addpkg 'vim openssh-server'  --name 'REMOVED'  --user 'REMOVED'  --pass 'REMOVED' --libvirt qemu:///system --raw=/dev/sde


/dev/sde is a iSCSI connected disk.

It appears that security.ubuntu.com is added to the created vm's
/etc/apt/sources.list. When the installer does an apt-get update this
fails (because the parent cannot directly access the internet, hence the
local mirror). When the installer fails to get security.ubuntu.com the
installer fails badly and I am left with an unusable vm.

Is there the possibility to:

a) Tell ubuntu-vm-builder NOT to add the security.ubuntu.com lines and just add the mirror lines
b) Tell ubuntu-vm-builder to use a specific sources.list that I supply
c) Tell ubuntu-vm-builder to use a HTTP Proxy (which will allow the parent to access security.ubuntu.com)

Kind regards
Jared
