Dear Maintainer,
when I try to install a s390x KVM guest using the following command
virt-install --name testing --ram 1024 --disk
/var/lib/libvirt/images/testing.qcow2,bus=virtio --location
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-s390x
I get the following error message:
======================================
ERROR Error validating install location: Could not find an
installable distribution at
'http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-s390x'
The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
See virt-install man page for various distro examples
=======================================
even though the location URL is correct. This is because the install
files location differs from i386/amd64. The attached patch - also
available upstream - will fix this (for Debian and Ubuntu).

Kind Regards
Viktor Mihajlovski
