Kubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
2.6.32-27-generic
x86_64
I tried to install "large selection of fonts" and tasksel failed with message: "aptitude failed (100)"

I found that installation is possible by installing directly from metapackage:
ubuntustudio-desktop
ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
ubuntustudio-graphics
ubuntustudio-video
ubuntustudio-font-meta

I have tested with ubuntustudio-font-meta and it installed normally.
  sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-font-meta

Added Ubuntu Version to Bug Report

Bug appears to be related to a few other reports which I have marked dupe to this report (hopefully that was correct if not restore ? ) anyways going to update status to Confirmed.

All of these tasks exist in Lucid's version of tasksel:

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

The problem is that Launchpad's cron.germinate doesn't know about ubuntustudio, so there are no appropriate Task fields in the archive's Packages files.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Specifically it's missing from the two lists of flavours in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/launchpad/view/head:/cronscripts/publishing/cron.germinate

[Launchpad QA Bot (lpqabot)]

Fixed in stable r13472 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/13472) by a commit, but not testable.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Not a bug in tasksel, so I'll invalidate that task.
