Hmmmm, may be we should not ask how it looked before but rather what should be the content of the tasksel file we *want* to create. I'm pretty sure I did not messed with any tasksel options since I need to admit that I have no idea about tasksel and its needed input. I just trusted that if it works for some Blend it should work for Debian Med as well. If it is **correct** that the now missing fields -Packages: list - abacas - abyss - acedb-other - ... Than everything is fine. I do not have spare cycles for the moment to dive into tasksel docs but if these short entries looking like Task: med-bio Parent: debian-med Section: debian-med Description: Debian Med bioinformatics packages This metapackage will install Debian packages for use in molecular biology, structural biology and other biological sciences. Test-new-install: mark show Key: med-bio are OK than I'm fine and we can close the bug. Sorry for my lack of education in this field Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
