Source: bumblebee
Version: 3.2.1-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have Thinkpad T440 with Nvidia GT 730M.
When I install bumblebee from synaptic, the installation stops at some point.

The reason is the system is corrupted IMHO. Read/write errors appear. No
software can be started properly. TTY not responding except asking for login.

I did it once and the package install fucked up my system. I tried with fsck to
recover my system, but even after repairing the ext4 partition, the system
failed to boot (I had folder with corrupted names in /)

I formated the partition and reinstalled a new Jessie today. Everything is
fine. I tried to install bumblebee again. Same thing, OS becomes crazy and the
read/write errors appear.

I use a double boot on this laptop and have no issue with the other OS. I used
Jessie on this laptop for one year without any trouble.

This is a critical bug as user will potentially loose their data and in all
cases make the OS unusable afterwards (no repair possible except reinstalling
Jessie)

Best regards,
