Bug#435769: debian-installer: no checking for sufficient disk space
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
d-i does not appear to make sure that the partitioning scheme it has
been given allows for sufficient space. This was made painfully obvious
when I screwed up and allocated 15 MiB to /+/usr+/var (instead of
15 GiB, silly me) and d-i gleefully proceeded to choke on this.
For the curious, this results in a lot of misleading "/pool/.../foo.deb
is corrupt" messages, which lead me to suspect I had a bad CD. (That
message in itself is a bug IMO, but I'm not sure if it's worth opening
another just for that.)
