Intrepid: Netboot. Edubuntu meta doesn't include things like OO.o or FF

[Dave Morley]

Binary package hint: edubuntu-desktop

RELEASE: Intrepid
CD/DVD VARIANT: 32/64 bit netboot mini.iso
ISO BUILD: 20080922ubuntu16

SYMPTOMS: There are several key applications missing when using netboot to install.

CAUSE: Edubuntu-meta I am guessing only includes gnome+the edubuntu packages rather than ubuntu and edubuntu packages

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1/ install edubuntu from netboot.
2/ note no evolution, FF, OO.o, pidgin and others

The test procedure is faulty. You are supposed to install Edubuntu on top of an Ubuntu desktop.

  need to install ubuntu-desktop task as well for Edubuntu (compare LP #276317)

Turns out to be a minor tasksel bug; fixed for post-intrepid.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package tasksel - 2.73ubuntu12

---------------
tasksel (2.73ubuntu12) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Tell apt to install Recommends, just in case tasks are incomplete in
    this regard (e.g. a task containing a metapackage that manually depends
    on a metapackage for another task; LP: #276317).
