** Attachment added: "Changes the error-msg when the diskspace is not sufficant"
   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30476572/error_msg_clarification.diff

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: partman-auto
  
  There is a misleading error-message in partman-auto. When you choose an
  expert-recipe and the available diskspace is smaller than what you have
  configured in the recipe you get such an error-message:
  
  "Expert recipe too large (24012 > 21000); skipping"
  
  Well the first thing I thought after reading this message was that my
  recipe is too large. The recipe can be provided in one logical line and
  I thought that line and thus my recipe would be too large... Just
  because I couldn't fix this error from happening after shortening my
  recipe and taking a look at the sourcecode I realized what this message
  is really trying to tell me.
  
  What this error-message really wants to tell someone is that your
  available diskspace is too small to satisfy the choosen recipe.
  
  I think such a message would be better:
  
  Available diskspace (21000) is too small for the planned partitioning
  (24012); skipping"
  
  Patch is attached.
+ 
+ Update:
+ Oh because I forgot to mention. This was noticed on ubuntu jaunty 9.04.
