I have a 14.04 preseed that errors and bails out with this being reported to syslog:
Jul 23 17:54:12 pkgsel: starting tasksel
Jul 23 17:54:13 in-target: Unknown option: debconf-apt-from
Jul 23 17:54:13 in-target: Unknown option: debconf-apt-to

I've been able to reproduce the error on my local machine by doing this:
[user@pc:~]
tasksel --debconf-apt-to
Unknown option: debconf-apt-to
Usage:
tasksel install <task>...
tasksel remove <task>...
tasksel [options]
-t, --test test mode; don't really do anything
--new-install automatically install some tasks
--list-tasks list tasks that would be displayed and exit
--task-packages list available packages in a task
--task-desc returns the description of a task
I'm not sure where the preseed is giving this information, since the only time tasksel is initiated is right before pkgsel, here:
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard
Watching the installer, it gets to popcon then gives me that error. The only thing in the preseed that is after the popcon option is the boot loader stuff. I'm thoroughly confused and would appreciate any help!
Thanks
