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.
See also the errata for the last official release for the testing distribution. Some of the issues listed there may still apply to daily and weekly built images.
Also, daily builds for one or more architectures sometimes fail, in which case daily built images may be unavailable or outdated. Check the daily builds overview to see if a daily build is current or failing.
Issues
Current
[22 Nov 2009] Graphical installer is broken because of 557387
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.
[22 Sept 2009] Installs of unstable broken because of 547949.
[4 Sept 2009] Broken for probably all architectures due to debootstrap failure caused by libsepol1 (545018).
[4 Sept 2009] When installing testing, GRUB fails to install because of missing diff (545226).
[23 Aug 2009] (probably since quite some time) The configured keymap is not used on the installed system (so the system is using a US layout) when installing with a netinst CD image. Fixed in debian-cd as of Aug 23th
[11 Aug 2009] Broken for probably all architectures due to new version of busybox (541115).
[06 Jun 2009] Testing base system fails to install because of 532050 (debootstrap segfault). Installing unstable is OK.
Sid/Unstable
You cannot install unstable (sid) using the daily netinst CD image, only testing (squeeze). 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.
