Comment 2 for bug 628414

debian-installer/build/Makefile has this target:

# Get all required udebs and put them in UDEBDIR.
$(STAMPS)get_udebs-$(targetstring)-stamp: sources.list.udeb
        dh_testroot
        @rm -f $@
        get-packages udeb $(UDEBS)
        @touch $@

this step fails, obviously at the get-packages step, get-packages is in debian-installer/build/util/get-packages.

This script defaults to ONLINE mode and only passes --allow-unauthenticated if there's a local udebs repo, of in offline mode.

So I think apt-get is failing with unauthenticated sources

Not sure how we can arrange to avoid this
