Hi,

Step 2 of the "Create a new virtual machine" wizard fails to
automatically detect the operating system when using an RC version of
d-i such as [0]. See attached screenshot.

Stable images like [1] are correctly identified as "Debian 11".

Given that "debiantesting" is in the list of known operating systems, it
would be great if d-i RC ISOs could be identified as such.

Thanks,
  ema

Hello Emanuele, maintainers of osinfo-db,

The version 20230308 in sid works fine for me for detecting the
installer RC ISO images:

apt-get install osinfo-db -t unstable

Additionally, I've added 2 patches (to be added in debian/patches), that
will add support for the live images on bullseye, bookworm and testing.

Could you send an unblock request to the release managers?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

Hi Roland,

That is not the case for me. Which ISO are you using exactly? The one
not being recognized here is debian-bookworm-DI-rc2-amd64-netinst.iso.

Thanks,
  Emanuele

Hello Emanuele,
Ah... I see my error. I was using the daily images from [1].
With the attached patch, the RC version from [2] (I've added only the
amd64,iso-cd version) will be identified as Debian 12 (i.e. bookworm).

See also my mail to debian-boot [3].

With kind regards,
Roland
