[16:51] <ameetp> cjwatson (or anyone from the base-installer team).  Please look at Bug 603202.  All x86 iso installs are failing with today's image

[16:53] <cjwatson> I'm just about to close it as already fixed.
[16:54] <ameetp> cjwatson: whoa!
[16:54] <cjwatson> explanation in the bug
[16:54] <ameetp> cjwatson: thanks!
[16:57] <cjwatson> you'll become familiar with that error - it happens frequently and transiently during development
[16:58] <cjwatson> it also results in live filesystem builds failing, which causes me to receive a big pile of e-mail
[17:00] <cjwatson> ev: could you update umenu and wubi in preparation for the 10.04.1 point release, please?

[17:56] <ev> cjwatson: done, thanks for the reminder
[17:58] <cjwatson> can't take credit, the process checklist told me to remind you ;-)
[18:00] <ev> heh
[19:47] <msergei> I've created a metapackage with the same list of packages that I have within my main seed. However, when I install it seems it wants to install all recommended and suggested pacakges which are not present on the cd
[19:47] <msergei> Is there any way to tell installer not to ignore those packages?
[19:48] <msergei> sorry s:not to:to:
[19:50] <cjwatson> msergei: it never installs suggested packages
[19:51] <msergei> Ok, may it is just recommended
[19:51] <cjwatson> msergei: for recommends, you can preseed 'd-i pkgsel/include/install-recommends boolean false' to disable that
[19:52] <msergei> Thank you, trying this now.
[19:53] <msergei> I was wondering if there is a full list of all possible preseeds available.
[19:56] <cjwatson> not a full list, but that one and most of the other actually useful ones are in the installation-guide
[19:56] <cjwatson> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html
[19:56] <cjwatson> actually *cough* that one appears to be misspelt in the guide ...
[19:56] <cjwatson> but it's mostly right, honest
[20:09] <msergei> No it was not it I guess… syslog does not provide any clue (at least to me): http://pastebin.com/kRhpeVkz
[20:09] <cjwatson> er, no sign of your metapackage at all there
[20:09] <cjwatson> what's it called?
[20:10] <cjwatson> are you sure that's a complete log?
[20:11] <msergei> This is complete log
[20:13] <msergei> What has happened is that I was trying to figure out how say "openssh-server" name appears in the package selection screen in Debian installer. I could not figure that out and made my metapackage required instead of optional also added it to my own seed. After that I can see that package gets installed (if it lists say only 1 dependency, say on openssh-server)
[20:15] <cjwatson> whoa!
[20:15] <cjwatson> don't do that!
[20:15] <msergei> What did I do wrong?
[20:15] <cjwatson> required is special weird magic.
[20:16] <cjwatson> so there are two possible options
[20:16] <msergei> Hm...
[20:16] <msergei> I'm carefully listening
[20:16] <cjwatson> either you can make sure that all the packages you want have an appropriate Task field in the Packages file on the CD, and modify the tasksel package to add an entry for that task name
[20:16] <cjwatson> or else you can just use pkgsel/include=yourpackagename and not worry about it being available as an option
[20:17] <cjwatson> you should definitely set the priority back to optional though
[20:17] <msergei> How would that Task field get populated in the Packages file? Is it done somehow automatically?
[20:18] <cjwatson> depends how you're building your CDs
[20:18] <cjwatson> we do it automatically based on germinate output from the seeds
[20:19] <cjwatson> but this can be more trouble than it's worth if you're just doing a small change
[20:19] <cjwatson> (this is the sort of thing that's designed and works well at a distribution scale but is fiddly at smaller scales)
[20:22] <msergei> I'm leaving only very bare things in the distribution, I've pretty much deleted all default seeds in ubuntu.seed and removed most stuff in ubuntu.platform
[20:22] <msergei> sorry they are called platform.lucid and ubuntu.lucid
[20:22] <msergei> So I'm using the full germinate method
[20:23] <msergei> However, when my seed has fields Task-Key and Task-Name fileds specified they don't appear in debian installer "automagically"
[20:24] <cjwatson> right, you need to modify the tasksel package to list the new seed under ubuntu-tasks/
[20:24] <cjwatson> (in its source package)
[20:24] <cjwatson> sounds like you already ought to have the Task fields in place, which is the other part of it
[20:24] <msergei> Somehow even though nowehere in my seeds I have openssh-server this option is available in the debian installer.
[20:25] <cjwatson> that's because it's listed in tasksel
[20:25] <msergei> Right… so is this package is pulled automatically by the debian installer from the repository?
[20:25] <cjwatson> we rebuild tasksel any time we make changes to the list of available tasks (as opposed to their contents)
[20:25] <cjwatson> yes
[20:26] <msergei> Now the mystery is solved.
[20:41] <msergei> Very strange, something else if failing I guess: http://pastebin.com/cwgZ5ypV
[20:46] <cjwatson> you may find more information in either /target/debootstrap/debootstrap.log or /target/var/log/bootstrap.log
[20:47] <cjwatson> 'zcat: short read' suggests a corrupt .deb, or perhaps one whose data.tar member is compressed using something other than gzip
[20:53] <msergei> Neither file exist, I'm afraid
[20:54] <msergei> I know that if I remove all dependencies (except openssh-server) from my package it gets installed fine.
[21:00] <cjwatson> make sure you dropped the priority to optional
[21:01] <msergei> I'm sure I did
[21:05] <cjwatson> it's failing at the bootstrap-base / base-installer stage, which only touches packages that are Priority: required or important
