Bug#902881: [debian-installer] Cannot partition disk in Testing installer

Control: severity -1 normal

Hi Alexander,

and thanks for the report.

Please see my reply to another bug report:
  https://bugs.debian.org/903047#17

There are no guarantees on weeklies, we're not rebuilding debian-installer
each and every time the kernel version gets bumped. Using a released alpha
would work best.

The issue is still there on the latest testing DVD (20180609).

Dear maintainers, please comment on this issue. According to the 
reporter it is present at least since a month now.

Bug#849400: (no subject)

[Attila Lendvai]

this affects me, too, and is rather frustrating. i welcome warnings and
suggestions from software, but this is just plain annoying without a way
to override it.

i flashed libreboot into my laptop (it's an opensource bios where grub
is the payload in the bios flash chip itself). i want to have a full
disk encryption that libreboot's grub opens and then restarts the grub
configured in /boot/ within the encrypted root.

this all works, except that the debian installer doesn't allow me to
setup the disk they way i want (it insists on an unencrypted /boot).

a workaround is to navigate the installer to setting up encrypted disks,
so that it loads the necessary packages that include e.g. cryptsetup,
and then on a different terminal cryptsetup the disk as you wish. then
the gui installer can be convinced to continue (it also insists on
installing grub somewhere, but that is the last step and can be skipped).

[PATCH] scripts/gusty: move /proc symlink logic to stage_one

[Alex Bennée]

This affects all post gutsy Ubuntu releases and now more closely
mirrors the behaviour in debian-common. The recent changes to
container detection broke QEMU's debootstrap for Ubuntu guests as
setup_proc_symlink would attempt to delete the real containerised
/proc in a stage 2 context causing the bootstrap to fail.

I've added in_target /bin/true to more closely align, it's simply a
check to ensure stage two can execute commands. There is probably
scope for more re-factoring as the remaining differences are mostly
dealing with code names, mirror locations and some minor and possibly
out of date init differences.
