I suspect you are talking about the behaviour of the Debian installation system, as the popularity-contest package can not ask any questions before it is installed. Is this correct? If so, I believe this issue should be reassigned to the appropriate d-i udeb package (pkgsel). Do you know which version of pkgsel were involved? As far as I know, the installer install popularity-contest to get the question presented (the question text is part of the package), and remove it again if the answer was no. Looking at <URL: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/pkgsel/blob/master/pre-pkgsel.d/90popcon > it seem to be still the case. Did the removal fail during the d-i run? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
