Package: qa.debian.org Tags: patch I investigated the new installation failure for Debian Edu/Wheezy reported in <URL: http://jenkins.debian.net/job/cd-test_debian_edu_wheezy/ >, and discovered the reason why the popcon question preseeding did not work.
The preseed file is preseeding the wrong debconf template. The one being shown is the one in debian-edu-install, which is copied from popularity-contest to ensure all questions show up before packages are downloaded. The following patch can be used to get the installation going. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
