[Bug 986203] Re: oem-config prompts for tasksel configuration multiple times during the install

[Adam Conrad]

I wonder if this might be some debconf-in-debconf madness with oem-
config spawning tasksel, and the world having a bit of a sad.

Thankfully, everything works after you answer the prompts 3 times (pre-
configure, config, postinst, I assume?), but it sure is an ugly
behaviour.

Reassigning to ubiquity for now, as I suspect that might be the issue.
Probably don't have the time to delve into it, so unassigning, but I'll
look tomorrow while packing.

Title:
  oem-config prompts for tasksel configuration multiple times during the
  install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing the /20120419.2/precise-preinstalled-server-
  armhf+omap4.img.gz image, I get prompted for configuation questions
  for each tasksel item I selected, in this case, LAMP, Mailserver.

  The progress bar increases after each round.

  I was prompted for the mysql-server password 3 times and the postfix
  "which type of installation" 3 times.

  Everything did install properly:
