Package: base-config Version: 2.65 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** After a new installation at medium priority in vmware (using daily netinst 2005-07-21) with desktop task selected, gdm is started after selecting "Finish configuring the base system". After this, invisible to the user, base-config is still running on VT1 because it is waiting for "Exit the base system configuration".
Because base-config is still running, /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked, causing errors when trying to install new packages that use debconf. The solution would seem to be to move starting the display manager from /usr/lib/base-config/menu/finish to /usr/lib/base-config/menu/exit. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.64 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.28.6 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsdutils 1:2.12p-4 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-49 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-56 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.52 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gettext-base 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii passwd 1:4.0.3-35 change and administer password and base-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information: tzconfig/choose_country_zone_single: true base-config/menu/mta: tzconfig/select_zone: tzconfig/verify_choices: true tzconfig/choose_country_zone/BR: East base-config/intro: base-config/menu/exit: apt-setup/security-updates: true apt-setup/another: false base-config/title: base-config/menu/finish: debian-installer/language: en_NL:en_US:en_GB:en base-config/late_command: apt-setup/mirror: http.us.debian.org base-config/start-display-manager: true base-config/menu/apt-setup: base-config/menu/keyboard: tzconfig/title: debian-installer/country: NL apt-setup/directory: /debian base-config/install-problem: true tzconfig/change_timezone: false base-config/menu/hostname: apt-setup/cd/another: false apt-setup/non-free: false apt-setup/badedit: mirror/suite: testing apt-setup/baddir: base-config/menu/pkgsel: base-config/menu/timezone: base-config/menu/debconf-seed: base-config/menu/intro: base-config/menu/passwd: apt-setup/hostname: www.fjphome.nl base-config/menu/pon: base-config/login: tzconfig/gmt: false apt-setup/title: mirror/http/proxy: apt-setup/contrib: false * base-config/main-menu: Finish configuring the base system base-config/early_command: tzconfig/geographic_area: apt-setup/cd/dev: /dev/cdrom apt-setup/country: enter information manually debian-installer/keymap: us apt-setup/badsource: base-config/use-ppp: false apt-setup/uri_type: http tzconfig/choose_country_zone/US: Eastern apt-setup/not-mirror: base-config/get-hostname: vmware tzconfig/preseed_zone: tzconfig/choose_country_zone_multiple: Europe/Amsterdam tzconfig/choose_country_zone/CA: Eastern apt-setup/security-updates-failed: apt-setup/cd/missing: base-config/menu/shell: apt-setup/cd/bad: base-config/invalid-hostname:
