[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#731551: virtinst: new location for debian installer prevents debian guests from starting the install

[Maciej Bonin]

Package: virtinst
Version: 0.600.4-2
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,
It seems the paths normally used by virt-install to find the debian installer are no longer valid, tried different combinations such as http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/ and variants thereof, they used to follow the template http://ftp.{country-code-of-mirror}.debian.org/debian/dists/{debian-version}/main/installer-{architecture}/ - however this no longer works.

Regards,

Maciej Bonin
