Can you provide more info from what > happened from the installation log? It appears the install log wasn't saved, but indeed when I mount the drive with TRK, I now see the 12-GB drive (this is a VM) has been divided up into a 243-MB /boot, 424 MB swap, 3.33-GB /, and 8.01-GB /home, with the / partition completely full. Can the installer be corrected to partition things out more sanely on small drives like this, or at least warn after the tasksel stage that install may fail because / wasn't allocated enough space? -- Joe -- Joe Thompson | j...@orion-com.com "I'd take seven earthquakes and your computer autoinstalling a Hebrew spelling corrector that it apparently expects you're going to need as a definite sign of the coming apocalypse." -- AdB, in conversation -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#518913: aspell cannot create hash file for "en"
Package: aspell Version: 0.60.6-1 Severity: grave Tags: l10n Justification: renders package unusable After upgrading from debian sarge, through etch, and finally to lenny, I noticed when trying to install AbiWord that aspell failed to create a hash file for locale "en". In fact the problem I get is exactly as described here: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.devel.dictionary/2005-07/msg00010.html which as you can see is a 3.5-year-old message. Nonetheless, that's the behavior I see -- anytime anything triggers aspell-autobuildhash, I get an ncurses dialog saying: - Problems rebuilding an aspell hash file (en) ** Error: Could not build the hash file for en-common This error was caused by package providing 'en', although it can be made evident during other package postinst. Please complain to the maintainer of package providing 'en'. Until this problem is fixed you will not be able to use aspell with 'en'. - I've tried reinstalling all of the following: aspell aspell-en libaspell15 dictionaries-common and nothing has fixed it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aspell depends on: ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12Common utilities for spelling dict ii libaspell15 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++64.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aspell recommends: ii aspell-en [aspell-dictionary] 6.0-0-5.1 English dictionary for GNU Aspell Versions of packages aspell suggests: pn aspell-doc (no description available) pn spellutils (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
