Dear Maintainer,

just tested DI-b2 with my packer setup, using a preseed file that states "d-i passwd/root-login boolean false", but the installation halts and prompts for a root password anyway. This works fine with DI-b1.

I'm attaching the complet preseed configuration for reference and let me know if you want me to do any other tests. I'll be glad to do it.

Rgards,

Hi Sebastian,

and thanks for the report.

This seems strange.

The only non-translation update to the user-setup package is the
following one:

   # Allow preseeding the groups to which the first created user is added
   Template: passwd/user-default-groups
   Type: string
  -Default: audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev scanner bluetooth debian-tor lpadmin
  +Default: audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev scanner bluetooth debian-tor lpadmin
   Description: for internal use only

Mraw,
KiBi.
