Subject: Fix: netselect download failure in packer builds
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.linuxfoundation.org/infra/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fchanges%2F34%2F73634%2F2;p=releng%2Fcommon-packer.git

Fix: netselect download failure in packer builds

Updates netselect package version from 0.3.ds1-28+b1 to 0.3.ds1-30.1
and changes download URL from unreliable ftp.au.debian.org to
deb.debian.org mirror. This resolves 404 errors preventing packer
builds from completing successfully.

+    Fixed netselect package download failure in packer build by updating
+    to available version (0.3.ds1-30.1) and using reliable mirror
+    (deb.debian.org) instead of failing ftp.au.debian.org URL.
