Unfortunately this cannot be fixed in tasksel this way. The order in which packages are actually installed is not determined by the order in which they are listed in tasksel. Reason is that tasksel makes use of the Task: fields in the Packages file, not the task files included in tasksel itself (which, simplified, are only used to update the Packages file). Would replacing gdm by xdm solve the problem (see #510422)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
