Package: tasksel
Version: 3.14.1
Tags: patch
Hi.
Today, when trying to install Debian on a flaky network connection, or
using a transparent proxy with issues, the tasksel/pkgsel step some
times fail because a download was unsuccessful, but succeed a minute
later when trying again.
Other parts of the installer, like apt-install, will try a few times
before giving up, while tasksel do not, as far as I can tell.
What about adding -o APT::Acquire::Retries=3 or something like that to
the apt-get call, to ensure packages can be installed automatically
also on slightly flaky networks?
This patch should do it:
