Today I tried the installer (yesterday's version) again, and attempted to manually format an existing partition using mkfs.ext2 on another terminal. This command already gets stuck, when run from the installer CD. mkfs.ext2 reports version 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009), but the same version works when called in a full system running from hard disk. mkswap called on its own seems to work, but still the installer also freezes when it says "formatting swap partition". Now I successfully installed Ubuntu on partitions already formatted from my existing Debian system.
