Commit 81f7bb1691dc9dc69fc6e584ad8c6e36e495c103 works around it
“locally”. It’s good enough for now, but we should eventually address
the root cause.
Mathieu, I’m guessing the cause of the problem, when using Parted 4.5,
is that the installer partitions disks somewhat incorrectly, as reported
by ‘grub-install’. I wonder if it might be due to an API or ABI change
that goes unnoticed in Guile-Parted because it uses the FFI.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
