Package: partman-base Version: 163 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Hi, Debian Install System Team! Please, please could we skip the load_extra function of partman on non-Linux arches: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-base.git;a=blob;f=partman;h=c993b94a1414c922d4880c748f95ffed7ee31309;hb=HEAD#l15 What this does is force partman-lvm and/or partman-auto-lvm to be installed even on arches that can't satisfy the dependency on lvm2-udeb. The packages cannot function without the lvm tools. What this leads to (and this may also be a bug / consequence of not installing the udebs from the normal module-chooser d-i step) is up to 1122KiB of translated Description fields being added to /var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat On GNU/kFreeBSD, space on the d-i ramdisk (rootfs) is scarce because it cannot dynamically resize. With certain preseeding options the installation of these packages can exhaust available space and break/abort the install process. GNU/Hurd doesn't have lvm2-udeb so can't use partman-lvm either.
