Well the mini.iso works now (without your work-around), but anyway it is good to know how to add such a work-around :-)
Please describe where and how to add that command! What should be booted and at what stage should it be entered? What is db_get ? Should I use some other way to get the 'minimal install' (not by downloading and booting the mini.iso)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gnupg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1403982 Title: mini.iso installer cannot load additional components Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnupg package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: system: Ubuntu Vivid 32-bit current daily mini.iso Computer: http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite- pro-c850-19w/ Dialogue: "Choose a mirror to use and press enter.

They were created in another computer because I could not create the report in the simple system running in the beginning of the mini.iso installation process. So they were removed.
