Choosing "Reboot" in rescue menu jumps to main menu

Bug #218549 reported by Martin Pitt on 2008-04-17

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	rescue (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Medium	Colin Watson
	Hardy	Fix Released	Medium	Colin Watson	Ubuntu ubuntu-8.04.1

Bug Description

TEST CASE: On selecting "Reboot the system" from the rescue menu, it does not reboot, but throws me into the installer's main menu. From that menu it is not immediately clear what to do, since it does not have a reboot. "Abort installation" does fine, but it would be better to reboot straight away. (Reproducible on Hardy.)

This is due to a change in rescue 1.12 that tried to db_subst a question that only exists for some of the options on the rescue menu. Checking its return code is sufficient. This has been done in rescue 1.14 in Debian, which will be synced into intrepid once it's open for business.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13983875/218549.diff is a patch suitable for hardy-proposed. Note that debian-installer needs to be uploaded afterwards for this to be testable.

Possible regressions for this patch should be limited to other entries on the rescue menu not working, which can easily be verified.

Please sync rescue 1.14 from Debian after RC to fix this. (It has some other changes; I haven't verified this from the diff but the changelog says they're just translation changes.)

Accepted into hardy-proposed. I guess testing this needs to wait until we build some test ISOs from hardy-proposed?

I've reproduced the bug in the original released Hardy images and have verified that this is fixed in the daily 8.04.1 iso image snapshots (alternative CD from 20080812.4), which claims to have the 1.12ubuntu1 version in -proposed. I've also verified that the other rescue menu options work as expected.
