First of all, I apologize for my bad english.

I'm trying to create a Debian 9 installer with simple-cdd including my custom package I built myself. I've already been adding custom package that I built with the exactly same process for a long time without any issue, but today I'm facing an issue I can't explain. I don't think the package itselft isn't built correctly because as I said, it's built the same way as working package.

The installer is running well until I get this message : "An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed." https://i.stack.imgur.com/gis5U.png

This is the error I have in the /var/log/syslog file telling me that one of my package is not installing (and in fact, another one depending on this first, but I think only the first one is revelant) : https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fy0AL.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/g4nOL.png

When I try to dig a bit more around this error, I can see the package I want to install in the /cdrom/pool/main/m/MyPackage/MyPackage.deb

When I tell the installer to ignore this error, I can finish the installation process but then, I will need to install my package by hand. I still can use the installer drive, and what's more, I can install the package that should have been used during the install process by using :

dpkg -i MyPackage.deb

The only hint I can guess is that this package is a bit hudge (more than 2GB) and that may be why it's asking for another DVD.

I'm building my iso with this command :

build-simple-cdd --conf "MyProfile" --dvd

My profile file is as follow :

locale=fr_FR
profiles="LogicBox"
simple_cdd_dir=$(pwd)
auto_profiles="MyProfile"
local_packages="$simple_cdd_dir/deb/"
mirror_components="main non-free"

And in the MyProfile.preseed file, this parameters may be revelant :

d-i apt-setup/non-free boolean true
d-i apt-setup/contrib boolean true
d-i apt-setup/cd/another boolean false
d-i apt-setup/another boolean false
d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-first boolean false
d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-next boolean false
d-i apt-setup/cdrom/set-failed boolean false

Last but not least, I'm testing this on VirtualBox 6.1 environment, but I tried also on physical system Intel J1900 / 8G Ram / 256 SSD with no better results. As a workaround, I'm thinking about putting thoose custom deb files in MyProfile.extra and asking preseed/late-command to install it by hand with an ugly command like :

in-target dpkg -i /media/cdrom/simple-cdd/MyPackage.deb

Do you have any hint for me to solve this issue ?

Thank you for your time.
