Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-auto-loop

Bindmounts are used in #230716 (in turn required by #207137). In such situation parsing /proc/mounts for a given device will return multiple entries which in turn makes autopartition-loop fail.

TEST CASE: This is a change in support of another bug. While partman-auto-loop will not fail under these circumstances in hardy as it does not have the fix for 230716, it will fail in hardy-proposed. Therefor, the test should be that a Wubi install does not fail at partman-auto-loop in hardy-proposed.

The proposed patch, as uploaded in partman-auto-loop 0ubuntu14, can be found here:

I tested booting off an extracted ISO content in a directory using a custom initrd which includes both the patches in 238701 and 230716 (since one will not work without the other), and it works fine for me.

That was also tested via bug #207137

I have tested booting off a directory containing the extracted ISO content using the daily iso 20080620.1. It is possible to boot properly and the installation proceeds past autopartition-loop (but it stops at 94% because of #243105).
I have tested booting off an ISO and installing and that also works well.
