Package: cdebconf-udeb Version: 0.44 Severity: minor This problem was discovered during the d-i debcamp, when trying to get d-i booting on mips (SGI Indy).
When starting cdebconf/main-menu in a freshly created debian-installer environment, the screen went blank and then user was sent back to the prompt without any explanation. Main-menu was started like this in a chroot: TERM=vt102 DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 /usr/share/debconf/frontend /usr/bin/main-menu The problem was later found to be lack of templates, and the solution was to load them using this command: /usr/bin/debconf-loadtemplate debian /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.templates I believe there should be some error message when this situation arises, to assist future porters avoid the problem in the future. I'm not sure how the situation should be detected, but I belive that in this case there was no templates available. That might be a situation to report to the caller, instead of just clearing the screen and exit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
