Kernel: 
Linux lnx 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11 18:05:09 UTC 2016 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux

Description/Reproduction:
the command "tasksel --task-packages <task>" is not working

root at lnx:/etc/apt# tasksel --task-packages server
server^

The command does not hang. It is the output.
The 16.04.01 is the first release for s390x. There was no release before.

tasksel --list-task works fine

I can also invoke ncurses menu with tasksel.

Attached you can find the sosreport.

I expect to see (ppc Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS):
