Problem: I try to specify the 'tasksel' list in the preseed file, but instead, few/none tasks are
selected.
During setup, the parsed preseed file can be found at:
/var/lib/preseed/log
This lists the tasks that are selected:
tasksel --list-tasks | grep ^i
This checks what the current value of "tasksel/first" in the debconf database is:
nano /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat
^W
tasksel
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgsel.postinst [sh]
/usr/bin/tasksel [perl]
(processes the "tasksel/first" command)
/usr/lib/tasksel/tasksel-debconf
