test pyparted in 1.4 or bigger

[Rodrigo Bistolfi]

In light 1.2 we are seeing:

root:# vinstall

Reinstalled pyparted from repo. Vinstall now starts normally. Still on RC1.2.

Reinstalled pyparted (upgradepkg --reinstall) from RC1.4 iso. Vinstall still starts normally.

Reinstalled pyparted from RC1.2 iso. Failure returned.

Once again, reinstalled pyparted from RC1.4 (again still on RC1.2). Vinstall starts normally.

There was a large swath of package rebuilding prior to the RC1.3 release, and a bit more just before RC1.4. 1.4 probably has the same packages (if present) that STD RC4 has.

The installer runs fine on STD RC4.1 which makes me think a rebuild of the light iso should produce a working install environment. let's keep this one open until we find out if that's the case

[roarde]

Want to make sure we're thinking of the same environment. This is not a booted install initrd; that works fine. This happens when installing vinstall to a Light RC1.2 installation and starting it from, for example, an xterm.

[Moises Henriquez]

you mean running the installer from a working installation ?
