Hello debian-installer team,
The full text of hang condition as displayed in the last 2 log lines at tty4:
Apr 29 19:38:25 in-target: Use of unitinialzed value in vec at
/usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress line {274|275}, <STDIN> line 2.
The only way to get past the hang condition was to kill the most recent
perl process executing /usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress. At that point the
installer displayed "Installation step failed" and allowed to continue
by pressing the Continue button. I ended up skipping install step
"Select and Install Software" to continue with installing grub2, then
rebooted successfully.
I took photos of the errors on the screen so I could report them.
Please let me know if it would be helpful and I can e-mail those photos.
Thank you,
Hendrik Schaink

This is most certainly a bug either in debconf or in the package it was
configuring, but not in debian-installer-8-netboot-*.
You might want to add more information to your bug, it's really too
terse to even start investigating.
Cheers,
OdyX

Hello,
Here are the photos I took while performing installation step Install
Software:
#299 shows the log output I checked on tty4 when nothing was happening
#300 shows the main (expert) install screen on tty1
#301 displays the processes on tty2
#302 shows the result of killing process #
#303 displays the main install screen showing a failed step.
Attaching photos 299, 300 and 301 to this e-mail, 203 and 303 to the
next. Hope this will be useful. Thank you,
Hendrik Schaink
