Hopefully Max will look at it in details.
Yeah, that's a known missing feature in partman-crypto. It is not possible to remove encrypted volumes right know.

This certainly *should* work. Celejar, did you configure a label on the root filesystem, or remember setting anything unusual? There are different issues that could lead to such symptoms, as can be seen in the different bug reports you referenced, but (AFAICT) none of those should affect current installer builds. It occurs to me that you might have hit a temporary problem we had in daily builds after we switched to UUID by default. This could lead to exactly those symptoms, and has since been fixed. Any chance you could retry the installation with a current image and try to reproduce it there? I do realize this may not be possible, but asking can't hurt. :-) Otherwise I think we should assume this was caused by the problem we already fixed - unless someone sees this with a current image. Either way, thanks for sending in the installation report. Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
