Package: tasksel Version: 2.66 Severity: normal During the installation of Debian testing/Etch from the build CD1 binary 20070226-09:38 (newest atm) I was not able to finish it after the step that runs tasksel if I selected "Desktop environment". The installation just hangs and I was able to recreate the situation in a minimal installation and manually running tasksel. According to the logs the problem lies in the fact (possible cause is my apt.sources configuration, but even if tasksel should display something and not just hang) that aptitude wants the user to enter "Yes". So the logs look sth like: - .... aptitude running and displaying various packages ... WARNING: untrusted versions of following packages will be installed!
Untrusted packages could compromise etc... Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway? To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No": - There is no way to even know from tasksel that this question is bothering aptitude not even a way to enter "Yes". The problem I get is imho connected with the fact of expired GPG signature for my mirror. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tasksel depends on: ii aptitude 0.4.4-1 terminal-based apt frontend ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-1 Using libc functions for internati ii tasksel-data 2.66 Official tasks used for installati tasksel recommends no packages. -- debconf information: tasksel/title: tasksel/first: tasksel/tasks: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
