Bug#858029: partman-efi: Manual partinioning in EFI system without EFI boot partition does not trigger an error message



No other OS installed and I did not get that message.

I'm using an NVMe Samsung 960 EVO drive for / and swap, and a traditional WD Red for /home. I don't know if that may have an influence.

Best regards,

Miguel

OK, I'm struggling to reproduce this here. I've just started 2 test
EFI installations in a VM. Create just a single filesystem on a blank
disk with no ESP and I get

  No EFI partition was found.

  Go back to the menu and resume partitioning?

when I say "Finish partitioning". Was there any other OS installed
already on the system?
