[Bug 985280] Re: [omap4] Package installation completely fails silently if no network is available

[Adam Conrad]

So, if I change the way we provide our initial Packages cache on the
server image only to behave more d-i-like (ie: to only have the local
pool represented until first networked apt-get update), this would solve
this, as well as the "too many tasks" bug.

Both of these options rely on my first getting task info on the image,
but that actually doesn't look like as much effort as it did when I
first tried.

Title:
  [omap4] Package installation completely fails silently if no network
  is available

Status in “livecd-rootfs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If networking is not present on the server omap4 image, package
  installation will silently fail to install any packages selected for
  tasksel. The installation will continue without any notification that
  it has failed, and drop you to a command prompt as per normal
  installation. However, no selected packages are installed and there is
  no notification that anything is out of the ordinary. This is a
  release-critical bug as both offline installation must be supported,
  and silent failure is not acceptable.

  There is no relevant information in any log files created by oem-
  config.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Run through the installation with no ethernet cord
  2. Select various tasks to install
  3. Complete installation

  Expected outcome:
  1. Selected packages should be installed, or at the very least fail with notification.
