           Summary: Errors when building the LTSP chroot are not reported to
                    the user
           Product: Skolelinux
           Version: lenny-test
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: System distrubution
        AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
        ReportedBy: pere@hungry.com


The installation test I ran tonight seemed to succeed, but upon closer
investigation, I discovered that the LTSP client installation failed silently:

Jan  5 00:13:58 main-menu[1031]: DEBUG: resolver (debconf): package doesn't
exist (ignored)

I'm not sure why the hashes didn't match, but believe this problem should be
reported to the user with a critical error message to let the user know that
the LTSP chroot is not working as it should, instead of just silently ignoring
the error and continuing the installation.

I'll try another PXE installation and see if the error happen again, and
hopefully get past this point and be able to test if the changes to the LTSP
build process actually work.
