I think I located the problem. It seems when a file:// entry is in sources.list, Tasks no longer show up properly in apt-cache show, even if ports.ubuntu.com is in the file list. Removing the file entry, and rerunning apt-get update allows tasksel to properly work. While the file entry was in place, commands to install seeds such as apt-get install openssh-server^ simply failed with package not found.
** Description changed: When doing manual testing of omap4, with internet available (to work around #985280), packages are downloaded, but not installed or configured. I can't find the downloaded debs anywhere, the selected tasks are not installed (tasks selected were SSH Server, LAMP, and PostgreSQL), and no debconf prompts were displayed. This is a release- critical bug. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do normal installation of armhf+omap4 2. Select any tasks in tasksel 3. Conclude the installation 4. Confirm that resulting packages are not installed Expected Results: 1. Tasks installed and debconf prompts displayed + + Addition: The file:// entry in sources.list seems to be responsible for + the breakage. While the preinstall pool is in /etc/apt/sources.list, + tasksel will fail to install any and all tasks, as well as trying to + install tasks via apt-get such as apt-get install openssh-server^ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985737 Title: Tasks selected in oem-config are downloaded, but not installed, or configured ...
