Package: base-installer
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I hope i file this bug against the correct package.
When installing debian using live iso, base-installer failed while copying live system with error message tar no space left on the device. This cause the installation to fail.
This seems to be similar to #748579. But i think it is not since i am using the original iso without netbootin.
I am using debian-live-9.1.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso (the SHA1SUM has been checked OK).
When booting the iso, i choose Debian Installer option on the boot menu (i did not go the live desktop).
This issue did not exist on the previous version of the live iso (debian-live-9.0.1-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso).
I tested this a couple of times on VirtualBox and I was able to reproduce the issue every time (sorry, i do not have any spare PC to test it on real hardware).
Please see the following screenshot for more details.

Hopefully, this bug can be fixed soon because it makes it impossible to install debian from live iso.
Thank you.

There's no bug. It's simply running out of space there - it looks like
your virtual disk just isn't big enough, I'm afraid.
