Bug#570772: squeeze: partition sizes to small for recommended packages
[Petter Reinholdtsen] For the record, at the moment a main-server+thin-client-server installation need this much space in MB on the overfull partitions: /opt 5527 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /usr 6115 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /var 2884 (2624 minimum in the recipe) The situation have improved slightly. This is the current status when installing main-server+thin-client-server using the netinst CD. /opt 5045 /usr 5705 /var 2567 I guess some recommends have been removed since the last test install. The soundfont recommends is not yet fixed, and I am sure we will discover more issues as we test the squeeze installation.

Bug#570772: squeeze: partition sizes to small for recommended packages
[Petter Reinholdtsen] There are three strategies for solving this: - Clean up recommends in Debian packages, to avoid installing so many packages. An example of such issue is fluid-soundfont-gm recommending fluid-soundfont-gs, while we only want to install one of them. I've asked for fluid-soundfont-gm to not recommend fluid-soundfont-gs (#571316), and followed up on a proposal for gnash to not recommend csound (#570212). This should save some space, but we need to try to find other recommends that should be removed too. Perhaps compare the list of installed packages in lenny with the list of packages installed in squeeze, or by looking at the largest packages and verify that we really want to have them installed. - Extend partition sizes to make room for the extra packages, which will increase the disk space requirement and make it harder for us testing the installation in virtual machines (I do not have more space to spend on the virtual disk. :). For the record, at the moment a main-server+thin-client-server installation need this much space in MB on the overfull partitions: /opt 5527 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /usr 6115 (6144 minimum in the recipe) /var 2884 (2624 minimum in the recipe) One would believe the recipe size is big enough, but partman some times create partitions smaller than the minimum size given in the recipe, leading to too small partitions. :( Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#570772: squeeze: partition sizes to small for recommended packages
package: debian-edu-install severity: serious version: 1.506 User: debian-edu@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu Hi, Default partition sizes are too small for workstation+thin-client-server installation (/opt, /var/ and /usr/ are too full). The cause is probably that all recommended packages are installed, and this require more space. Filing as serious as it break automatic installations which is a core feature of Debian Edu. cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There are three strategies for solving this: - Clean up recommends in Debian packages, to avoid installing so many packages. An example of such issue is fluid-soundfont-gm recommending fluid-soundfont-gs, while we only want to install one of them. - Change how we install packages, asking tasksel and other parts of d-i to not install recommended packages. I believe this is straight forward, but then we do not get the recommended packages we might want to have installed. - Extend partition sizes to make room for the extra packages, which will increase the disk space requirement and make it harder for us testing the installation in virtual machines (I do not have more space to spend on the virtual disk. :). I suggest we try to implement them in that order, and see how far we get by asking for recommended packages to be changed to suggests where it make sense before we decide if we should drop recommended packages during installation or extend the default partition sizes. I suspect changing a few huge packages might be enough (the sound fonts packages are enormous. :).
