I already had a look at those hooks, but IMO modifications there wouldn't change a thing. AFAIK the place for fixing the debconf data base and doing dpkg --reconfigure -a could only take place in the ltsp-client-builder udeb itself. So my conclusion is to seek the fix for the problem in tasksel/list of packages to install/preseeding instead of working around the problem. To figure out possible reasons for the failing ltsp chroot installation I tried to install a thin client server with a thin only chroot by an additional local preseeding of ltsp-client-builder. (The commandline argument edu-skip-ltsp-make-client didn't seem to work for some reason.) -------------- # Workaround for dictionary-common dictionaries-common dictionaries-common/default-wordlist Manual symlink setting dictionaries-common dictionaries-common/default-ispell american (American English) # Install chroot only for thin clients d-i ltsp-client-builder/build-client-opts string --no-diskless-edu-workstation # Force fast connection d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string mirror.netcologne.de d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian -------------- The ltsp chroot installation succeeded this way, only some minor issues in parts related to the stripped down installation.
