This page tracks problems with the DebianInstaller daily developmental builds on a daily basis. If you are using a daily build and it breaks, check here before filing a bug report.

This is not intended as a replacement for the BTS, just a quick list of the most pressing issues of the day. This page is maintained by the d-i developers. We only list issues here that affect many users. If you feel an issue should be added, please ask on #debian-boot on irc.debian.org or send an e-mail to debian-boot@lists.debian.org.

Note

The issues listed below do not affect official releases; see the errata for the relevant release instead:

Also, daily builds sometimes fail. Check this page to see if a daily build is current or failing: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html

Current issues

* [27 Jul 06] Root on software raid installs are broken in testing; you need the initramfs-tools and mdadm packages from unstable to boot.

Past issues

  • [20 Jun 06] During installation some empty mailboxes are created in /var/spool/mail/ which may interfere with mail delivery ([http://bugs.debian.org/374705 #374705]). Simply removing these files (as root) will resolve this.

  • [14 Jun 06] finish-install has broken installations using current weekly CD/DVD builds.
  • [18 Jun 06] amd64 CD images turn out to have been broken for a while due to a mirroring issue on the CD image build machine.
  • [14 Jun 06] finish-install has broken installations using etch d-i, including beta2 businesscard, floppy, and netboot installs.
  • [16 Jun 06] Mirror selection when doing installation from netinst-CD (during apt-setup) is broken.
  • [14 Jun 06] lvm2 reports incorrect exit values which breaks vg creation in partman-lvm and possibly more ([http://bugs.debian.org/373644 #373644]).

Sid/Unstable

You cannot install sid using the netinst CD daily image, only etch. Use netboot installation method or business card CD image.
