Hello Brian, or anyone else affected, Accepted partman-auto into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman- auto/134ubuntu1.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: [Impact] All new installs of 16.04. [Test case] 1) Install Ubuntu 16.04 on a system 2) Validate that the size of the /boot partition is greater than or equal to 512MB; should be somewhere between 512MB and 1GB, close to 768MB. [Regression potential] This may adversely affect installs on tiny disks, by taking up more space for the /boot partition than was previously taken, at the cost of / or /home. As such, failures to install due to insufficient space on a partition, or failure to partition a disk that was previously working should be investigated as possible regressions. + This is a corner case in general since there is no requirement to allocate a separate partition for /boot in the default configuration, and if you are using a non-default configuration where /boot must be a separate partition, you probably also don't have a disk so small that an additional 256MB of disk usage is a problem. --- - - The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition, when required, of only 487M. This ends up being rather small when you using the following equation to estimate a minimal size allowing for reasonable room for further growth. + The installer (in 16.04 and 17.10) creates a separate /boot partition, + when required, of only 487M.
