Nothing obvious in the logs I've checked. Currently the system has been sitting idle for almost 2 hours with the ubiquity GUI showing "Saving installed packages...".

Nothing obvious in the logs I've checked. Currently the system has been sitting idle for almost 2 hours with the ubiquity GUI showing "Saving installed packages...". I'm doing a custom partitioning that I've done for years. Before the installer is started I use gdisk to create the EFI-SP and 2 dm-crypt partitions for /boot/ and LVM respectively. I use cryptsetup luksFormat --type=xxx ... on the partitions then open them as LUKS_BOOT and LUKS_VG respectively. I create the VG and several LVs for rootfs, var, home, usr_local. I format each as ext4 with labels matching the LV name, and format LUKS_BOOT as well. I format the EFI-SP as vfat with FAT16. In partman's "Something Else" I then select each LV and set its mountpoint and do not choose to format it (again) since I wish to retain the labels. I get passed the User Info questions then it idles whilst showing "Saving installed packages...".
