[Gianfranco Costamagna]

again :)

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

I just went ahead and updated your merge to 2.73 and to include 2.69ubuntu2 too.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package choose-mirror - 2.73ubuntu1

---------------
choose-mirror (2.73ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: (LP: #1617173)
    - Use Ubuntu mirrors.
    - Ubuntu branding.
    - Set default country to GB.
    - Never ask mirror/suite, mark it untranslatable, and give it
      appropriate choices for Ubuntu.
    - Pick CC.archive.ubuntu.com (for the country selected in the installer)
      as the default mirror. For ports architectures (armel, powerpc) use
      ports.ubuntu.com instead.
    * Add support for CC.ports.ubuntu.com; using the same logic as
      CC.archive.ubuntu.com for general country mirrors.
    - Drop the priorities of the country/mirror questions to medium if we're
      installing from a CD that includes the base system.
    - Support setting OVERRIDE_BASE_INSTALLABLE in the environment to force
      choose-mirror to assume that the base system is installable.
    - Skip mirror validation if the base system is installable and we're
      installing from a mirror in the masterlist.
    - Don't check if archive.ubuntu.com is reachable before asking for a
      proxy.
    - Allow preseeding the default CC.archive.ubuntu.com setup by preseeding
      mirror/http/mirror to CC.archive.ubuntu.com, and likewise for
      mirror/ftp/mirror.
    - Force xgettext to use UTF-8 encoding when generating templates files,
      to cope with Côte d'Ivoire.
    - Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country
      if the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting
      to GB.
    - Exclude all-countries mirrors such as ports.ubuntu.com when
      determining whether there is a mirror in the country specified in
      debian-installer/country.
    - If the selected country has no mirror (excluding all-countries
      mirrors), then fall back to the default.

choose-mirror (2.73) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update Mirrors.masterlist
  * Fix perl deprecation warnings by adding a backslash before each
    problematic character in mirrorlist script:
     - Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated

choose-mirror (2.72) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fix FTBFS with -A builds (arch:all only), by only running the
    templates check when the relevant choose-mirror-bin directory
    exists.

choose-mirror (2.71) unstable; urgency=critical

  * Check during the build that choose-mirror-bin's templates file isn't
    obviously broken, to avoid new occurrences of bad breakages like the
    issue fixed below.
  * Revert 0c8d7d077692349350a4798a4a52c6f399ce973c (part of the 2.70
    upload), which resulted in empty templates and in choose-mirror
    segfaults (Closes: #834383). Further changes related to po2debconf
    and intltool-merge will be tracked in a separate bug report.
  * Set urgency to critical accordingly.

choose-mirror (2.70) unstable; urgency=medium
