Package: tasksel Version: 2.15 Severity: minor Currently the cache is always deleted as soon as aptitude finishes package installation. This is very not nice if the installation fails for some reason (or is cancelled by the user) as packages will have very likely have to be downloaded again, and again, ... I suggest that the cache only be cleaned if there were no errors during the installation.

As tasksel calling aptitude is no longer used in D-I, and as the D-I process was the main motivation for Frans' initial report, I think there is indeed no more bug here. What remains is that when aptitude is cancelled by the user (if using tasksel interactively), then aptitude exit code is non zero...and tasksel reports about this. Which is indeed logical... Whether aptitude should or not exit with a non-zero error code is actually out of scope for this bug report. --Attachment: signature.asc
