Chances are that this was fixed by partitioner changes since Dapper, such as avoiding the mad scheme where partman was left running during the summary page, or the introduction of the new advanced partitioner in Feisty. Failing that ...
This change (which was NOT in time for the Feisty beta release, but will be in all future releases, including Feisty final) fixes one major known cause of this problem, namely that if the attempt to lock the file was unlucky enough to be interrupted by delivery of a signal then it wouldn't be retried. Even if that wasn't the problem here, debconf will now print more information which may help to determine the real cause of the problem. Thus, I do still welcome reports of this bug from users of more recent versions of Feisty than the beta. debconf (1.5.13ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Install Python confmodule for python2.5 as well. * Retry flock() on EINTR. Failing that, print the errno if flock() fails so that we have a better chance of working out why. * Set Maintainer to me for DebianMaintainerField (even though I'm part of the maintenance team upstream ...). -- Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 10:16:04 +0000 ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- two debconf frontends active at partman_commit https://launchpad.net/bugs/47670 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
