Problem with tasksel in Ubuntu 14.04

  • 772

I tried to install lamp server using this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server

But I always get this error:

Can't call method "set" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd.pm line 126, <GEN0> line 5.
Use of uninitialized value $ret in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 132, <STDIN> line 4.

  1. Tim almost had it right- according to the tasksel manual, you can execute tasksel "tasks" using sudo apt-get, plus the caret:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^

    I had these same errors, the above command worked for me.
