Package: base-config Version: 2.12 Severity: normal (OK, so I've encountered this bug a while ago (in Beta2) but forgot to report it. I did not have the time yet to reproduce it in Beta3, so please forgive me if this is bogus)
I tried to install d-i on a small partition a while ago. I chose 'tasksel' and then by accident X-Window-System and Laptop (I think). Anyway, when I saw apt-get doing it's job I realized that my partition was too small and interrupted APT. I then got bumped back to base-config's package selection. I again chose tasksel. I'm not entirely sure whether the tasks I chose were still selected, but I definetely had them all deselected when I ran 'install packages' again. No Still, APT wanted to install all the X packages. I also chose aptitude later on, and while I was not really 100% sure that the packages were really deselected, I believe they were. Still, APT installed all the tasks I selected in tasksel initially. While I agree that this is a corner case, I still believe this to be a bug which should be fixed eventually.
