[Bug 985737] Re: Tasks selected in oem-config are downloaded, but not installed, or configured ...

[Michael Casadevall]

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^
