Package: apt-setup
Version: 1:0.47
Severity: grave

In Debian Edu, we set the debconf severity to critical while pkgsel is
executing to hide the automatically configured tasksel question. This
has worked just fine until recently. The DVD installation recently
broke, and was fixed with the upload of apt-setup version 1:0.47
closing #595903 and the related up load of base-installer version
1.112. With this fix in place, the installer now enter a endless loop
at the end of the pkgsel run, when load-install-cd is called.
The cause for the loop seem to be that 'apt-cdrom ident' no longer
work. The loop become endless because the debconf question asked
during the loop is only of severity high, and everything below
critical is ignored when Debian Edu run pkgsel.postinst.
This patch raises the severity of the question, and I suggest this is
implemented to make sure the loop do not become endless when using
debconf severity critical.
I have no idea why the check_id() call always fail, and this should be
fixed too before this bug can be considered solved. Without
remounting the install DVD, the grub stage fail later in the install
process, and the installation as a whole fails.
Setting the severity to grave, as this problem breaks the entire
installation.
