Severity: normal

When you're using a system running udev with the devfs compatibility
rules (as d-i probably will at least for a while once it switches to
udev, assuming Debian takes the same route as I'm taking for Ubuntu),
parted fails to calculate partition paths correctly because its /disc ->
/partN substitution is only used when /dev/.devfsd is present.

I've fixed this in Ubuntu by simply looking for /disc at the end of the
path and always doing the /partN substitution if it's found. Here's the
patch:

Cheers,

The proposed patch has been added, then in 1.6.24-1
another one has been applied which corrects its
behavior in some conditions.
