Bug#593258: debian-installer-launcher - cdebconf troubles / d-i installation fails
Subject: debian-installer-launcher - cdebconf troubles / d-i installation fails
Package: debian-installer-launcher
Version: 2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
I have got some errors when trying to install a live image using debian-installer-launcher (s. below).
There are first few errors (missinf part of .so file names of cdebconf) however it is possible to follow the installation to the virtual HDD (VirtualBox von Oracle) only when chosing the english language (the live image has german as defaults and comes up with german language settings). After installing all files there is an error messages like "install failed" (s. below). I had the same problems when booting on real hardware (without VirtualBox) and when trying to install from the "install boot menu". I have repeated these tests few times and will it execute some furthers tests with English as an default live language.
regards,
Mark
PS. on the host I used live-build a23 to create live images
