Package: installation-reports Hi, I just managed to install Debian Testing on the second try. I send this report in to point you to a problem I had on the first try.

I wanted to overwrite the LMDE one with Debian. During partitioning I chose the manual variant. I selected /dev/sdc1 for /boot and /dev/sdc2 for /, to format with ext3 and ext4 respectively. These partitions were in use by LMDE before with the same mount points and the same types of filesystems. The installer additionally wanted to use /dev/sdd2 for swap which was OK with me (it contains a swap partition that had been used earlier by the other installed operating systems). I proceeded to applying the chosen formattings. The installer hung with its progress bar at 33 percent while making the filesystem on /dev/sdc2. The hard disk light was off. I changed to a console where ps showed all processes in S state. There was an mkfs process for /dev/sdc2, also in S state. In /var/log/syslog I found a message from partman saying "Found a dos partition table in /dev/sdc2". (Just googled it: this has been seen in Ubuntu, see launchpad 1361951) To resolve this I booted from the USB stick again; this time choosing to write zeroes all over /dev/sdc2 before formatting it. This time the installation finished without problems. So it seems that the / filesystem of LMDE contains something that confuses partman and that the installer can't cope with a confused partman. That LMDE was the following version: Linux Mint 17, Edition "201403 MATE 64-bit". In case it matters: I couldn't install LMDE with separate /boot and /, so I installed it with a / partition only, in /dev/sdc2, and later moved its /boot directory over to /dev/sdc1. Thanks for providing Debian! Kind regards, Lutz Euler
