reassign 615016 partman-auto thanks Quoting Kent Smith (etherealbox@yahoo.com): > Package: debian-installer > Version: Lenny and Squeeze > Severity: important > > > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 6.0 > APT prefers stable > APT policy: (990, 'stable') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.11 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) > Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > Hello, > This bug appears when I'm trying to install Debian to the largest available free space while leaving existing partitions undisturbed. In the partitioning section of my Preseed.cfg file, I have the following line: > d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free > However, the installer wipes all my existing partitions and tries to create new paritions to replace the old ones. I must manually select "Undo changes to partitions," "Guided Partitioning," and then "Use biggest available free space." This bug was not in the installer when Lenny was first released, but it is present in the 503 Lenny images, as well as in Squeeze. Below I've included the whole partitioning section of my preseeding file. Does that only happen when you're trying to pressed? Please send the full installer log in such cases anyway, this is the only way this can be investigated.
