You are still missing the TYPE of the template. The <owner> is not all that important here. Both "d-i" or "bootstrap-base" will actually work. The missing <type> is what is causing your problems! > Does *not* list d-i (rather confusing if you ask me). There's a footnote [2] that explains it, though I agree that's somewhat hidden. I'll add a "rule" in [1] that explains this. Note: if you use the instructions (debconf-get-selections --installer) from [1] on an installed system, you _will_ get "d-i". > I will try to use d-i as owner instead of bootstrap-base the next time > (and remove the quotes from none).
