CarlFKthat looks odd - should that be reported somewhere?16:52
cjwatsonCarlFK: No, that seems perfectly fine.22:43
CarlFKcjwatson: k - thanks.23:15
cjwatson(partman-auto/select_disk isn't asked on every possible path through the partitioner)23:17
CarlFKWhat is this value about? /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda23:31
cjwatsonCarlFK: internal representation23:41
cjwatsonthat path exists during installation and stores various bits of metadata23:41
cjwatsonbut for preseeding you probably just want /dev/sda instead which IIRC is the documented form.  partman has lots of areas in which the values left in the debconf db after installation are not what you want to preseed23:42
CarlFKah. neat.23:43
