Bug#762365: debian-edu: Unable to install the desktop after tasksel was upgraded
Package: education-tasks
Version: 1.724
Severity: important
At the moment, the Debian Edu installation of a KDE desktop fail. I'm
not sure why, but suspect it is related to the new tasksel version.
The debian/tests/test-metapkgs script is able to reproduce it. This is
the error when it fail:

It seem to be a bug that gnome is being installed when KDE is requested,
and this make me suspect the new tasksel package where gnome was made
the default recently when the entire tasksel menu structure was changed.
But it could be a bug in gnome or something else. Not quite sure.
