You are correct. The issue is partly with aptitude. If aptitude is called with --visual-preview and the installation fails or is cancelled by the user after downloading packages, aptitude exits with exit status 0 instead of with an error status. I will clone this bug to aptitude for that. IMHO, this still leaves an issue in tasksel, that should maybe be solved together with #272360. If manual package selection was chosen and aptitude is quit normally by the user, tasksel should not just finish (deleting the cache) and continue with the next installation step. IMHO it would be much better to allow the user to confirm that he is finished, or allow him to return to the tasksel main screen or to run aptitude again. The reason is that we don't really know _why_ the user quit aptitude and so can't really rely on the exit status being 0. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
