Package: preseed Severity: minor Since #759290 is archived, I'll send this again as a new report.
Regarding this commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/preseed.git/commit/?id=f2e7bae02caec5a66e25d5af7aab90eb7648deca The attempted fix here mangles the logic of the if statement. The &&'s after the db_get's are about checking that the setting is set, you cannot invert those and get a useful result. I'm now unsure how to fix this without reintroducing #759290. One could restore the if statement, with an empty then, but I think that the real bug is that we don't have a test for the DHCP provided preseed, so the real fix would be to add such a test to the if as it was before. In case you're wondering why one should care, the result is that the touch /var/run/preseed_unspecified_at_boot is always run now, which means that preseed scripts that use that to determine what to do if the user didn't specify a preseed at boot, but rather did so when prompted during the install, will do the wrong thing. This feature is useful if one wants to have a demo preseed setup that can notice that the user was a newbie, and will then drop into a more interactive tutorial, for example. Cheers, Phil.
