Installer asks for time zone after copy of packages to hard drive

[Thomas Schneller]

After file copy to hard drive the base-installer come up highlighting the time zone line. If you press
returen, nothing happens. Going to the next line and input a username and password freezes the intaller.
Going to a secend consol I can see, that the user was created.

Ending the freez with ctr-c brings me back to the installer again with timezone highlighted but not usable.
Configure apt does not work as well. And I could not install grub. Finishing the installation was not
possible as well.

After manual installation of grub I could boot up and end the installation successful.

Used version: hoary-install-i386.iso 16-Mar-2005 08:33 585M

Yes, 20050316 is broken. I fixed the breakage earlier this morning and am
rebuilding CD images now. Thanks.

base-config (2.62ubuntu12) hoary; urgency=low

  * Use -- to separate tzsetup options from debconf options.
  * run-in-target uses debconf itself, so switch the order of run-in-target
    and env in target_debconf.

Just downloaded and tried

hoary-install-i386.iso 16-Mar-2005 12:28

but still see issues. Configure timezone still broken. Configure apt and finish installation as well. Grub could be
installes successfully.

Could finish installation manualy.

I just did an install that worked fine for me. Check the versions of
tzsetup-udeb and apt-setup-udeb on the CD you have; they should be 2.62ubuntu12.
