Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ppc64el/daily/netboot/mini.iso Date: April 21st 2021 Machine: Power10 machine but got it on Power8 as well This happens randomly when the installer menu starts, I get to the first menu "Choose language", but it is red saying "An installation failed... The failing step is: Choose language". It seems the missing file /var/lib/dpkg/status is causing this. Instead I have /var/lib/dpkg/status.bak Digging a bit I found this bug : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=940028 which seems close to what I have : --- Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Looking at console hvc0 from /proc/consoles Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Adding hvc0 to possible consoles list Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: hvc0 is preferred Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Adding tty0 to possible consoles list Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Adding inittab entry for hvc0 Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Adding inittab entry for tty0 Apr 22 12:11:57 reopen-console: Restarting init to start d-i on the console(s) we found Apr 22 12:11:57 init: reloading /etc/inittab Apr 22 12:11:57 init: starting pid 239, tty '/dev/tty4': '/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/syslog' Apr 22 12:11:57 init: starting pid 240, tty '/dev/hvc0': '/sbin/debian-installer' Apr 22 12:11:57 init: starting pid 241, tty '/dev/tty0': '/sbin/debian-installer Apr 22 12:11:57 debconf: Setting debconf/language to en Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[272]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for brltty-udeb Apr 22 12:11:57 debconf: Setting debconf/language to en Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[272]: INFO: Menu item 'localechooser' selected Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[278]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for brltty-udeb Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[278]: INFO: Menu item 'localechooser' selected Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[278]: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[272]: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory Apr 22 12:11:57 main-menu[272]: /var/lib/dpkg/status: No such file or directory --- Regards, F.Attachment: signature.asc
