Comment 20 for bug 131134

the above comment is not always true...
8.04 custom install defining new tasks for tasksel, tasksel works ok but when invoke "apt-get install" this one is unable to find the requested task for its installation... the tasks are perfectly defined on /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc but they never get to apt-get cache even after a apt-get update, a manual apt-get install xxx_task^ will also fail...

question... when apt-get populates its cache; does ever read /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc ???
