Hi all,

After recently installing the i386 flavor of devuan,
I tried again with the amd64 version.

This time I encountered problems.

First, I managed to clobber the partition table.
At one point the installer asked me if this was
a GPT partition table. I wasn't sure and said yes.
Then at some point the partition table was overwritten.

That may have been a mistake on my part, but I think
it's worth noting that this is the first time
in 20 years that the debian installer has led to
this level of destruction.

After I repaired the disk and booted the installer, the
install aborted with a package dependency problem that I
recall involved systemd, udev and dbus. Apt was looking for
a particular package version, and the version number of the
available package had a -devuan suffix that apt rejected.

I ended up installing stock Jessie, which I will later
convert to devuan.

I wonder if others have encountered this issue, and
whether this is the appropriate forum for reporting it.

Kind regards,

Joel
