Package: debian-installer Version: partitioner unable to format used swap partition20100211 Severity: normal
Installing on a virtual machine with a previous fresh installation of debian lenny with a uniq partition "/" (sda1) and a swap (sda5). When running the debian squeeze installer, selecting the same configuration (all in a single partition), the partitioner reports an error while trying to write on sda5. It claims that this partition is in use. A second run of the partitioner didn't say anything and went to the next step. I didn't check much, but it seems that the debian-installer use this partition as its swap space. Solutions would be one of those : . swapoff the used swap partition before writing changes . don't try to format the swap partition if it doesn't change between the two installations I'm not sure about the version number (20100211). I assumed that the testing installation CD was built with this version. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
