This issue is still the case using 16.04. Worked around this using:
# # d-i proxy sets the proxy globally and not for pkgs only # see also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/568704 # unset http_proxy quite on top of the %POST section of my kickstart file. Thanks for the original poster who gave the inspiration for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568704 Title: debian-installer preseed "d-i mirror/http/proxy" sets env http_proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/568704/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
