Package: install
Severity: normal


-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
  APT prefers stable
  APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-486
Locale: LANG=es_CO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_CO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)

When installing Debian etch r3 or r4 (tried with i386) the tasksel window 
doesn't appear even the message "running tasksel..." is shown below the 
progress bar. By looking in tty4 I managed to see some weird messages about 
tasksel. Seems like there are some syntax problems in the string parameters 
passed to tasksel as window title (and may be others). The final result is that 
the Debian installer goes on and installs the base system and the graphical 
enviroment leaving no option to the user of selecting to not install the 
graphical enviroment or to install the offered servers. Although these packages 
can be installed later manually, until Etch r2 the tasksel menu appeared 
correctly and let the user choose the desired system components. I performed a 
test using the debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-i386-netinst.iso image running a normal 
gui install and didn't have that problem.
