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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.65

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.65) precise; urgency=low

  * Add (extra-)override parsing to the preinstalled pool to make sure
    we get task headers in the local pool for tasksel (LP: #819899)
  * Move temp directories under config so they get cleaned properly
  * Invoke apt-get update once with only the sources.list fragment
    for the local archive, so our package/task selection more closely
    mimics the CD experience (LP: #985258, #985737, #985280, #819900)
  * Write out a standard sources.list entry for preinstalled systems
    that's similar to the one generated by installers (LP: #985291)

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

Status in “livecd-rootfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
