Package: Debian installer
Version: As on Debian live-CD/DVD for Debian 12.5
Severity: critical

1. Download debian live-CD/DVD from: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso <https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso> or https://ftp.gwdg.de/debian-cd/12.5.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso <https://ftp.gwdg.de/debian-cd/12.5.0-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso>

2. Boot from this DVD
3. Doubble click on "Install to harddisk"
4. Select to erase a partitioned harddisk
5. Select "German"
6. For User and Passwort enter
     Full name: demo Demo
     Username: de-de
     Password 1st: start123
     Password 2nd: start123
7. Click install

9. Try to login with the credentials given above:
     User: de-de
     Password: start123


Having a closer look at the system installed:
- The system language ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE.

- The user given isn't created at all.
- The password isn't entered into /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.

8. Wait until the installer finishes and reboots into this newly installed system The newly installed system just tells: unknown user or password, user or password wrong. You wont be able to login. - The keyboard language and layout ist set to en_US, instead, as selected to de_DE. - Root is created, but does not have a password, while passwordless logins are prohibited Conclusion: it is not possible to login to the system. Youl have to hack it to get access.

And: after rebooting without any CD/DVD it just boots into an error: no system found.
