Sure. Thanks for your reply. Here's mine:
When it fails ( installer launched from inside live image ):
http://pastebin.com/dfY54U8LWhen it works ( installer launched directly from boot menu ):
When the prompt for the mirror is shown (step that broke above has started properly)

When it fails, $(tail syslog) shows this:
Jun 3 15:43:53 main-menu[2605]: INFO: Menu item 'apt-setup-udeb' selected
Jun 3 15:43:54 apt-setup: /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/50mirror backed up
Jun 3 15:43:54 main-menu[2605]: INFO: Menu item 'apt-setup-udeb' succeeded but requested to be left unconfigured.
My analysis of fail situation: /usr/bin/apt-setup contains this:
gendir=/usr/lib/apt-setup/generators
for generator in $gendir/*; do
...
$generator $ROOT$tmp || code=$?
....
case $code in
...
10)
# TODO handle backup better
log "$generator backed up"
rm -f $ROOT$tmp $ROOT/etc/apt/sources.list.new
db_progress STOP
db_capb backup
exit 10
When $generator is /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/50mirror, it exits with exitcode 10 as I described in the original post of this tread.
I'm curious:
a) How do I see what udebs are installed? (perhaps that set differs between the two "modes")
b) How can I see what <packagename>.udeb contributes to debconf?
c) How do I dump the entire debconf database? (debconf-dumpdb takes a [source-db] what should I use here?)
