[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#806820: vmdebootstrap: --apt-mirror not working

[Christoph Egger]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I'm running vmdebootstrap with

  vmdebootstrap --mirror http://localhost:3142/debian/ --apt-mirror http://ftp.fau.de/debian/ [..]

However, the localhost apt-cacher-ng URL ends up tin the sources.list of the generated VM instead of the ftp.fau.de one.

Manpage indicates this is exactly what apt-mirror is for:

          --apt-mirror
                 Use the specified mirror inside the image instead of the mirror used to build the image. This is useful if you have a local mirror to make building the image quicker but the image needs
                 to run even if that mirror is not available.

Regards

  Christoph
