    Turns out that this is an “assumption” problem and not a bug.

    I assumed that the default behaviour would be to set up sources.
    Turns out that the default behaviour of the installer is to *not* set up the sources, but only set up the installation media as a source.

    Having the option for that seems sane, but shouldn't setting up network sources be the default selection?
    It seems to me that 99% of the time, people will want apt to be able to get packages from outside the installation media.

    That does depend: if you set up from a DVD with no network, then that
    may be the result. If you have a working network, then the installer
    should offer you the option to include a network mirror.

    All the very best, as ever,

    Hi,

    That's a bug report, so both the submitter and the bug report should be
    in recipients, as opposed to the mailing list.

    (Rule of thumb: BTS = reply-all.)
