The issue lies in cdebconf: * partman/choose_partiton is aligned through ${!TAB} debconf directives, * these directives are expanded in strexpand(), * strexpand() uses a static buffer. This buffer was too small for the complexity of such partitioning screen. I have commited a patch that makes this buffer dynamically allocated to get rid of this issue. After this fix, I was able to complete your setup sucessfully. Thanks for your detailed report. :) Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`. [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
