[Testing - Trixie] netinst LUKS+LVM install broken

[linux4life798]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the guided partitioner in the Debian testing amd64 installer.
Specifically, the Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM errors out and emit the following error message:

Code: Select all

partman-lvm: pvcreate: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this a known issue?

Reproduction:

Code: Select all

It looks like there are currently build errors:

It looks like there are currently build errors:

I saw that, which kinda explains why the amd64 build is pretty old, compared to the arm64.

It looks like the install image does have the libaio.so shared library, but it is named libaio.so.1t64.

Searching for that library name shows that someone has identified this issue in https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bug ... 63781.html .

Also, there seems to be an open bug for this in the kalilinux bug tracker - https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/d ... /issues/7/.

I've come up with a bit of a workaround:

1. During install, right after the Partition disks step starts, open a console (Ctrl-Alt-F3 or Alt-F3 in QEMU).
2. Press Enter to activate the console.
3. Create a symbolic link to libaio.so.1t64.0.2 with the expected shared object file name by doing the following:

   Code: Select all

   ln -s libaio.so.1t64.0.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaio.so.1
   

4. Go back to the installer GUI by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (for expert install) and continue without error.
