Hi, More hints:
* D-I 20091223-00:00 doesn't have this problem (but has other bugs related to dhcp and then the install fails also) * D-I 20091224-00:00 is the first image to introduce the bug. I'm attaching the udeb list diff for those builds. * Problem seems to be related to the changes made to cdebconf 0.146 (debconf-get segfault) Best regards.
