Bug#402606: installation-report: partitioner does not update partition type when using previous NTFS partition

[paul van den berg <p.b.van.den.berg@rug.nl>]

Package: installation-report
Severity: normal


I installed etch on an old pc, using manual partitioning. I selected an
existing NTFS partition (/dev/hda1) as ext3 root filesystem. 
The partition was formatted, and installation went ok until installation of
grub. Grub-install could not install stage1 on /dev/hda. Lilo-install
worked.
After rebooting I ran fdisk and learned that the partion type of /dev/hda1
was still NTFS (id=7). After setting the type to Linux (id=83) and rebooting
I could install grub.
