Package: installation-reports Severity: serious Justification: prevents from installing at all in arabic language Hello, Cc-ing debian-l10n-arabic because they can perhaps look at the partman translation files and check that there is nothing odd in the file (e.g. odd ligatures or such odd thing that might disturb gtk). While doing some tests, I noticed that when running the installer in arabic language, the hard disk detection step hangs. To reproduce: - dd < /dev/zero > blip bs=1M count=1 seek=10000 - kvm -cdrom /var/tmp/d-i/debian-buster-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso -drive file=blip -m 2G - Select the graphical installer - Select the arabic language - Select that you don't care that not everything is translated - Select everything by default except typing non-empty passwords and user name The partman packages get loaded but the installer remains stuck at the attached screenshot. /var/log/syslog does not provide more information than what we get when doing all the same in English. The ongoing processes showing up in ps are udpkg --configure --force-configure partman-base /var/lib/dpkg/info/partman-base.postinst configure /bin/partman parted_server /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto Switching to VT4 to see the log then going back to VT5 shows a fully gray screen, so I guess it's the gtk frontend which is somehow stuck due to something in the arabic translation? I tried today's weekly build, with the same result (the only difference being that it doesn't warn that not everything is translated).
