Bug#274933: tasksel: When test scripts exit 2 the task is not marked

[Free Ekanayaka <free@agnula.org>]

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.12
Severity: important

Hi,

I've tried to create  a  test task  which is automatically  marked for
installation and display (exit code 2 in the test script).

Here's the definition of the task, included in debian-task.descs:

Task: test
Section: test
Relevance: 7
Description: Test
 Test task.
Key: 
 joe
Test-prova: test
Packages: test

/usr/lib/tasksel/test simply exit 2
/usr/lib/tasksel/packages/test simply echo joe

If joe *is not* installed the Test task  is displayed in the list, but
*not* marked.

On the  opposite if  joe *is*  installed  the task is  displayed *and*
marked.

Cheers,

Free
