Package: tasksel
Version: 2.53
Severity: normal
Selecting 'Desktop environment' (in Etch Testing) causes tasksel to
hang. (There is a flashing cursor at the bottom left-hand corner of the
console.) If 'Desktop
environment' is selected from within the Etch beta-3
Debian-installer, the installation fails. I have replicated the problem
on a Thinkpad T20 laptop and on the PC detailed below using qemu.

[ Rene Engelhard ]
* add openoffice.org-l10n-eo to esperanto-desktop
* add openoffice.org-gtk to xfce-desktop since -gtk also has an
effect on Xfce. Makes OOo look better and be able to use native
Gtk file dialogs.
* add openoffice.org-l10n-sr-cs to serbian-desktop
* add openoffice.org-gcj to desktop; installing "openoffice.org" installs
gij anyway due to -base and -gcj speeds some things up
* add myspell-pl to polish task
* add openoffice.org-l10n-hi-in to hindi-desktop, remove -help-{bg,mk,sk}
from their respective tasks, not built anymore

* Add british language task. Closes: #305132.
* Add wpasupplicant to laptop task. Closes: #394678.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* xserver-xorg has been changed in version 7.1.0-5 to do all hardware
detection in its postinst, and so the desktop.preinst script to
pre-install those tools is no longer necessary. Thanks to the X Strike
Force for finally ending this special case.
* Hangs during standalone tasksel runs due to apt prompting for a CD
switch when installing packages in desktop.preinst are therefore no longer
a problem. Closes: #386244
* However, this problem can still occur if third-party task scripts try to
install packages. Document that.
.
[ Per Olofsson ]
* Add anacron to desktop task.
.
[ Safir Secerovic ]
