Bug#391356: tasksel failure druing debconf-apt-progress line 158, <STDIN> line 532.

[David Ayers <ayers@fsfe.org>]

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.71
Followup-For: Bug #391356

I'm trying to migrate from a pure Mail-Server net-install
to full blown
-Desktop
-Webserver
-SQL-Database
within a qemu session which I'm intending to use to prepare
releases of software I maintein.  Unfortunatly tasksel
(or it's sub-tasks) keep failing.

I've now tried simply to run tasksel interactively.  Merely the
Mail-Server was selected.  I've added SQL-Server and continued.
After most of the installation was done the following error message
was displayed:

/bin/debconf-apt-progress line 158, <STDIN> line 532.
tasksel: Aptitude fehlgeschlagen (255)
(i.e. Aptitude failed)

Well the file actually seems to be located in /usr/bin...
I'm nor proficient in perl so I can't really interpret what
could be wront with 'next;' statement there.

Is there any further information I can provide?  I still have the
qemu image from before invoking tasksel, so I can retry this with
--deconf-apt-progress options.

Thanks!
