Package: partman-efi Severity: normal Tags: d-i I have an efi partition already from a previous, failed install. Partman sees it and shows the type as "EFI boot partition". It seems to be activated in partman, but on exit partman-efi complains that I have no efi boot partition. I've tried deleting the partition and re-making it, which works, but only if I slightly change the size. Apparently otherwise partman noticed I've not really changed anything, and does not format it. Unlike when it's dealing with other pre-existing partitions, partman does not add a "Format the partition: yes/no" to the partition edit menu, so I cannot force it to format it. Anyway, I'd rather not have to, as I hope to have multiple debian installs on this machine eventually. So to sum up, partman should let me control whether to format an existing efi partition or not, and partman-efi should not complain if the efi partition already exists and was previously formatted, or should perhaps complain less strenuously, since I suppose using an efi partition that has other cruft on it might be unsafe. -- see shy jo
