hmm, that's interesting/confusing, it is doing some amount of deleting... just not complete.
Before the install, I did this: sudo su touch /home/test/this-should-be-deleted touch /bin/this-should-be-deleted touch /boot/this-should-be-deleted touch /etc/this-should-be-deleted touch /lib/this-should-be-deleted touch /lib64/this-should-be-deleted touch /sbin/this-should-be-deleted touch /selinux/this-should-be-deleted touch /usr/this-should-be-deleted touch /var/this-should-be-deleted and after the install these still existed /boot/this-should-be-deleted /home/test/this-should-be-deleted /selinux/this-should-be-deleted but the bottom line is that installing over the top of an existing os does not actually work properly, you must either manually delete it or else format the partition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296071 Title: install over existing does not delete old - result in corrupt install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1296071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
