Try this by yourself
- boot an amd64 image with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt
- proceed with installation process until full libc6 is unpacked
- wget libgcc_s.so.1 into the installer
- export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
- debian-installer
now you should be able to chvt without crashing anymore.
Thanks for finding this bug!
I didn't know that you could change the frontend on the fly.
So you interrupted it right after installing the libc and
restarted after changing the frontend?
I'm also curious about how to switch the frontend.
My use case for it is running d-i on a slow (e.g. old) computer
which default starts with newt frontend and switching to text frontend
would allow the CPU to spend it's power on d-i rather then
redrawing/updating the screen.
