Hello,

It looks like an issue with ISO building. The following errors are raised when running apt-get update:

Nov 22 09:45:12 ubuntu subiquity_log.3572[9516]: E: Clearsigned file '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_cdrom_dists_noble_Release' contains unsigned lines.
Nov 22 09:45:12 ubuntu subiquity_log.3572[9516]: E: The repository 'file:/cdrom noble Release' provides only weak security information.

Thanks,
Olivier

If everything went according to plan, this issue should be resolved in the 2023-11-23 daily build.

Test results from 23-11-2023 confirm the fix.
