Fair enough. But you know, when there are buttons, people will press
them. I would appreciate if you  would just hide the options which don't
"make sense" on z and only display the patterns that are valid, like
LAMP, PostgreSQL etc.

So you would not say that this behaviour is a bug at all?

Title:
  Installation with many package groups selected is not possible

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Invalid
Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Installer version: 20101020ubuntu451.10
  Kernel: 4.4.0-62-generic

  Description/Reproduction:
  Tried an installation with every package selected except the following:

  Mythbuntu master backend
  Mythbuntu slave backend
  Mythbuntu frontend
  Xubuntu minimal installation
  Xubuntu desktop
  Audio recording and editing suite
  Video creation and editing suite

  The installer fails finishing the step "Select and install software".
  I get prompted e.g. for the MySQL root password or the postfix
  configuration, but the step does not come to an end.

  debug logs are attached
