Bug Description

I have been trying to setup a local network installer using PXE and netboot. The PXE functions and the netboot installer loads fine. When asked about the repository to use I've selected custom (first option), entered the IP address of the server and pointed to the /ubuntu/ share (which, again, is shared from /var/www/html/ubuntu).

The installer starts and then complains about not being able to find a file needed. After looking at the log output on the client and server it appears to be looking for:

"pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.15/cdrom-core-modules-2.6.15-26-386-di_2.6.15-26.47_i386.udeb"

however "cdrom-core-modules-2.6.15-26-386-di_2.6.15-26.46_i386.udeb" is the file that exists on the CD.

NOTE THE .47 VS .46 IN THE FILE NAMES.

Does the 6.06.1 CD need to be updated to properly point to .46? I have not been able to find where/why the installer feels it needs to look for .47.
