Package: main-menu, debconf Severity: normal Tags: d-i I started d-i in expert mode (netboot) and went down immediatly and selected netcfg from the menu. Netcfg complained that there was no network interface -- ethdetect had not run. ethdetect provides ethernet-card-detection, which netcfg depends on, so it should be run. It seems that what main-menu tries to do with debian-installer/missing-provide triggers an internal error in cdebconf: Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: --> SUBST debian-installer/missing-provide CHOICES Detect network hardware, Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: Adding [CHOICES] -> [Detect network hardware,] Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: <-- 0 Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: --> INPUT medium debian-installer/missing-provide Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: <-- 0 question will be asked Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: --> GO Sep 9 19:56:53 debconf: <-- 100 internal error Why is there a comma after the sole choice? Probably this used to work and cdebconf has become stricter in what it will accept. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- see shy jo
