Package: debian-installer

Version: 8.8

Severity: important

Tags: d-i

It looks like the partman bug (#767682) is back in debian-8.8.0-amd64. The installer hangs when installing from debian-8.8.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.

Using graphical expert install. Reformatting the boot partition on sda2 with ext3 filesystem.
