--- Begin Message ---Package: base Version: all 1) I have repeated this on 3 different SD cards (16 GB), using windows 7 and 10 and 3 different computers and 2 SD card readers. Both Pi 2 and 3. 2) I used to be a software engineer 3) Happens on Jessie and Stretch Summary: Load Debian (usually NOOB or package with desired options) on SD card, finish install. No problems (more than 10 times), can use it normally Try to install new OS on "old" SD card with existing Debian OS and it gives an error. - Windows can't format it (not surprising). - The last recommended formatter/installer (don't recall the name) can't format it or install new OS - The latest formatter / installer balenaEtcher gives an error - The SD card formatter from SDcard.org can't format it (throws an error) - True with Kingston, Acer and SanDisk SD cards - Used Nobi card adapter and built in card port on HP computer (same result) Take these SD cards in on "warranty" and the companies show they are "bad" (they replaced them for free). I can take a brand new card and make it go "bad" with the above procedure. That should not happen. It seems the install may be overwriting something important at a low level, or similar to "damage" these cards. Best Regards, tsb PS: Suggestion, your bug reporting system may be wonderful for the programmers, but it sucks for those trying to help. You might rethink it.

You might rethink it. As you have notices, the bug tracker is not well-suited for helping users interactively. Please try getting help first from other venues listed at https://www.debian.org/support - especially IRC, the mailing lists or http://forums.debian.net/ . Once there is a clear bug identified, please file a new report against the package having the bug. Thank you for your understanding, Chris
