crash right after mount point setup

[Martin Pitt]

ppc/live, 2006-04-11 (espresso 0.99.43).

right after setting up the mount points, before starting to create file systems, espresso crashes with

  File "/usr/bin/espresso", line 94, in ?
    install()
  File "/usr/bin/espresso", line 40, in install
    ret = wizard.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/espresso/frontend/gtkui.py", line 198, in run
    self.process_step()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/espresso/frontend/gtkui.py", line 672, in process_step
    self.mountpoints_to_summary()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/espresso/frontend/gtkui.py", line 831, in mountpoints_to_summary
    partition_id = self.part_devices[partition_value]
KeyError

I chose the following layout:

/dev/hda3 -> swap
/dev/hda8 -> /

This is fdisk -l /dev/hda:

/dev/hda
        # type name length base ( size ) system

Confirmed on today's amd64 CD, with the following mount point setup:

/dev/hda1 -> swap
/dev/hdc2 -> / (on reiserfs)

I could only see one circumstance under which that crash could occur, so I plugged it in this upload. However, this assumes that you forgot to select a partition for one row in the mountpoints table, which may not be the case. If this doesn't fix the problem for you, could you please reopen this bug, take a screenshot of the mountpoints screen before hitting Forward, and attach it to this bug?

espresso (0.99.45) dapper; urgency=low

  * Fix validation to accept hyphens in hostname (thanks, Alexandre Otto
    Strube; closes: Malone #39218).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Avoid crash if no partition is selected for a given mount point
      (closes: Malone #39116).
