Package: base-installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i When installing the packages from the apt-install queue, base-installer ignores (and logs) failure. I think this is not robust enough. For example, today I did a raid install, and mdadm failed to install as it was not on the CD. But I did not find out until the system failed to boot. Also, what if the package is being downloaded, and there is an intermittant network problem? This can result in subtly broken systems. I think it should warn the user when installation of a package failed, and maybe let them retry the install. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo
