Bug#397668: reports error after reading the preseed file
Package: preseed
Severity: important
I do an "install file=/floppy/preseed.txt" the install reads the preseed file and reports an error.
When I press alt-F4 it show that a remove command failed after reading the file. If i do an alt-F1
to go back to the install program and select continue the install continues and all the settings in
the preseed file are used. The system works normally.
I have tried this with the daily "debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso" from both 31-Oct-2006 and
7-Nov-2006. I have tried this on two different machines. Same error.
System log from the time of the error.
