Package: debian-installer Version: 20170615 Severity: important Tags: d-i It says: "Failed to partition the selected disk" "This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned"
Manual partitioning a sigle primary partition (using whole disk) does not produce any space nor installation problem (tasks: desktop+printing+ssh+standard) - leaves more than 4GiB free. When trying same procedure with 16GiB hard disk ("single"* partition) is not complaining, and it seems to need only ~4GiB for whole system. (*) Choosing only 1 partition produces 2 partitions (root & swap). Words aren't selected well for that question.
