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

thanks

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
