Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: partman-base
I installed the Gutsy tribe 5 beta onto a machine a while back. I just
downloaded the Gutsy beta and was going to install over the tribe
installation, but the installer hung on the partman stage. It was
showing the progress dialog window with something like 57% completed.
The tribe 5 was i386 and the beta was amd64, both desktop varieties.
I had chosen to resize /dev/sda2 during the tribe 5 install and had been
able to use the WinXP installation and Ubuntu installation without any
problems.
I xkilled the installation window and tried again, but this time the
progress dialog window never came up.
stracing the partman process hung the terminal the strace was running
in.
