Herd-4 install screen navigation with automatic partitioning option

[Bryce Harrington]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

I didn't see this in the list of bugs for debian-installer; I hope I have identified the correct package.

In step 5 of 8 it gives the option to do Guided or Manual partitioning.
Select Guided, then click Forward.
Now click Back.

You expect to reach the Guided or Manual partitioning page, but instead you see a page with headings for mount points or something. Clicking Back one more time returns you to page to select Guided vs. Manual.

I suspect this is the graphical installer, reassigning.

I coincidentally spotted the same thing myself and fixed it.

  * New partitioner:
    - Fix edit dialog not to try to resize partitions even if the resize
      spinbutton was left untouched (LP: #85227).
    - Add contextual buttons to GTK frontend (part of LP: #83166).
    - Add an undo facility.
    - partman-* updates add validation support (LP: #82768); also add
      XFS-on-/boot validation.
    - Break out of setting the mountpoint if it's invalid (LP: #84543).
  * Fix crash if multiple newworld boot partitions are present (LP: #84429).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Fix backup from user information page if migration-assistant is not
      active (LP: #85642).
    - Fix up step numbers if migration-assistant is disabled (LP: #85711).
    - Disable smooth zooming, as some video drivers are very slow at drawing
      this and it's hard to handle this dynamically (LP: #67572).
  * Fill in a default username based on the user's full name (LP: #84550).
  * Retranslate Forward button when going back from summary page
