The install program correctly informs me that "proflibs" and "info" are missing, and also installs the various "src" distributions, so I guess the problem is detecting the failure and stopping before trying to install X 2) in the "Adduser" form, the "Login Id" entry is a bit too small (5-6 chars instead of 8 ?) -- Also, if the adduser fails because of some problem (e.g. a non-existing group), the content of the form is not preserved and one has to reenter everything from scratch.
