Package: main-menu
Version: 1.22
Severity: serious

It appears that main-menu_1.22 causes an incomplete installation on the Linksys NSLU2.

Martin Michlmayr reported an unusual installation order on the NSLU2 [1]. The installer image used for that test used main-menu_1.21. Based on the discussion in the thread, main-menu_1.22 was uploaded, but now the installer fails to run flash-kernel-installer. As a result, the system fails to boot, because the kernel and initrd are not written to the system flash. Also, clock-setup is not run during the installation and localechooser is out of order and left unconfigured. The order of the installation was extracted from the installer /var/log/syslog and is shown below.
