Public bug reported:

On a fresh installed Unbuntu 16.04 LTS amd64 Server system the application 
tasksel is not working properly.
Normally a the following command sould list all the packages installed when 
choosing the task server:

tasksel --task-packages server

however on different installs of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server amd64 this
commandline only prodices the following output:

~$ sudo tasksel --task-packages server
server^

Comparing straces from an Ubuntu 1404 LTS amd64 server and an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 
amd64 server shows, that the applications seems to be doing it's job and 
searches for the relevant packages but the difference is the output.
It might be worth mentioning the the 'broken' tasksel on 16.04 still exists 
with 0 as if everything is ok.
