Bug Description

Gutsy Tribe 5 Desktop CD:
Installation from Desktop CD.
On manual partitioning for 250GB harddisk following config did fail:

10 GB fat32
10 GB ext3 /
2 GB swap
228 GB ext3 /home

After trying to create the /home partition error was something "end can not before start for partition"
I tried some more, and when i create the /home partiotion around 212 GB or less partitioning works well like:

10 GB fat32
25 GB ext3 /
3 GB swap
212 GB ext3 /home

This might well be bug 137878, which I fixed recently. It's a one-line fix, so perhaps you could try it out for me. Could you please try the following? Boot the desktop CD again from scratch, but before starting the installer, edit the file /lib/partman/definitions.sh as root (e.g. by starting a terminal window and typing 'sudo nano /lib/partman/definitions.sh'), and go to line 258, which should look like this:

       longint=$(($int * 10000 + $frac))

Change this line to exactly the following (be sure to get all the punctuation right):

       longint=$(expr "$int" \* 10000 + "$frac")

Then start the installer and try again. Does it work now?
