Package: debian-installer Version: 20051017 & 20051018 Severity: normal Hi, Preseeding "preseed/early_command" and "preseed/late_command" doesn't seem to work.... Checking available examples show only comment lines. ( I have the feeling that preseed/...._commands aren't widely used ) The problem was first encounter in at the end of the first stage. Syslog nicely reports the the command line as it in the preseed file ( no line wraps or other malformed isssues ) Rerunning 'preseed/late_command' in console VT2 with /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/05preseed gives the same error dialog box is the exit code 127 Editting the value of it in /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat and reducing the string to just `wget http://host/path/file` with another /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/05preseed gives the same error message. ( `wget http://host/path/file` works fine ) The error is the exit code of the wrapper, not of the command request ( that isn't executed ) Reproducing it with todays daily build from ~joeyh breaks on the early command d-i preseed/early_command string mkdir /dim ; echo iets > /dim/notempty ( that is preseed.cfg content that worked with 20051017 ) Rerunning it with `preseed_command` is not possible. Checking /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat revealed that the value for "early_command" is gone. This is on ia32. It would be nice if it could be confirmed that this happens on more places then just my place. Cheers Geert Stappers
