Subject: tasksel: Mail task selected although not all programs were installed.
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.76
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Dear DDs,
after reading the changelog I wanted to try tasksel and saw that the
Mail task was shown as selected. Not remembering having done this I
deselected it and the following packages were removed.
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] nbsmtp
[ENTFERNEN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] exim4-base
[ENTFERNEN] exim4
[ENTFERNEN] exim4-config
[ENTFERNEN] exim4-daemon-light
[ENTFERNEN] mailx
[ENTFERNEN] mutt
[ENTFERNEN] procmail
I did not want to have mutt removed, which I installed manually, so I
selected the task again and now additional packages were installed.
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] exim4-base
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] libc-client2007b
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] libsocket6-perl
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] mlock
[INSTALLIEREN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] spamc
[ENTFERNEN, ABHÄNGIGKEITEN] nbsmtp
[INSTALLIEREN] exim4
[INSTALLIEREN] exim4-config
[INSTALLIEREN] exim4-daemon-light
[INSTALLIEREN] mailagent
[INSTALLIEREN] mailx
[INSTALLIEREN] mutt
[INSTALLIEREN] procmail
[INSTALLIEREN] qpopper
[INSTALLIEREN] sa-exim
[INSTALLIEREN] spamassassin
[INSTALLIEREN] uw-imapd
So I am wondering, why the task was marked as installed although not all
of its dependencies were installed (the last four were not).
Is this a bug or a feature, I am not seeing?
Thanks a lot,
Paul
PS: Now I know what use the -t option has. :-)

The task is selected if the key packages are installed. That is why
you probably saw it as installed while few packages of it where not
installed.
I'm closing this bug report since this is not a bug. Feel free to
comment on this bug and reopen it if you disagree.
Cheers,
