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.

Notes

The issues listed below do not affect the stable release; see the errata instead:

Official releases and weekly builds for the testing distribution are in general also not affected. The exception to this rule is when an issue is caused not by a component of the installer, but by a regular package and that package is retrieved from a network mirror during the installation.

Also, daily builds for one or more architectures sometimes fail, in which case daily built images may be unavailable or outdated. Check the [http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html daily builds overview] to see if a daily build is current or failing.

Issues

Current

Past

Dates are when the issue was first identified, and give an indication if older images were affected or not. Current images should no longer be affected by issues listed here.

Sid/Unstable

You cannot install unstable (sid) using the daily netinst CD image, only testing (lenny). To install unstable, use either the netboot installation method or a daily businesscard CD image; you will need to boot the installer in expert mode or with priority=medium.
