[Bug 1751546] Re: the net installer doesn't install gnome-vanilla

[Tim]

Brian, I may be way off track here since its been a long time since I
looked at tasksel, however doesnt it essentially run:

apt-get install <flavour>^
Which then installs packages based on Task: fields in Packages.gz?
(looking at the source, that seems to apply for the ubuntu-seeds?)

Now there is an ubuntu-gnome-desktop Task in artful, but I dont think
that was intended, it was meant to be renamed to vanilla-gnome-desktop
along with the rename of the meta package.

The only thing that was not renamed, was the bzr repos, so the patch
looks ok to me in that respect.

Is there some way to make tasksel use the meta package instead of the
Task embedded in the archive?

Title:
  the net installer doesn't install gnome-vanilla

Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
  New
Status in tasksel package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I tried to install Ubuntu 17.10 in a virtual machine with the "net
  installer iso". When I select the desktop environnement gnome-vanilla,
  it continues the installation without GNOME and xorg ! So I was forced
  to install GNOME in a tty console.

  But when I select lubuntu or another desktop environnement, it works
  perfectly.
