Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-base

I performed a Feisty Beta Server install this afternoon and upon reaching the "Partition Disk" section I realized I had made the wrong keyboard selection. I decided to correct this. I tabbed down to <Go back> and hit return. I got the list of earlier installation steps. I selected "Detect Keyboard" and was immediately returned to "Partition Disk". I tried this several times with several reboots to make sure it was a consistent issue. It failed in the same fashion each time.

I tried to think of an alternative approach. I thought if I went though the same steps again and this time chose "Select Language" that it would allow me to re-select my language and then move to "Detect Keyboard". I was only partially correct. It did walk me through "Selecting Language", but once that was completed it jumped me back to "Partition Disk". It would never give me the option of reconfiguring my keyboard.

I know the issue is minor, but it might cause a bit of confusing with new Ubuntu server users if they encounter the issue.

I'm pretty sure that it hasn't changed; this is actually rather
difficult to fix because of the multiple conflicting requirements on
console-setup's use of debconf. However, it would be trivial for
somebody to actually test it rather than having to ask ...
