Bug#262182: Patch for elilo-installer to call apt-install elilo
Please apply the following patch and close this bug.
Changes:
1. Calls apt-install elilo per request in the bug report.
2. Adds error handling for elilo failures.
Notes:
* There are template changes (added messages) that
require translation.
* A bug report (Bug#264947: Acknowledgement (Busybox chroot
crash/errors on Sarge 08/06 for ia64.)) was filed because of
failures in this code. That bug has not been fixed and the
failure case cannot be tested until that bug is resolved.
