This left a mount point lingering in /var/lib/tik tik's migration module assumes if there is ANY files in /var/lib/tik then that's a backup which can be used.. but there was no backup..just the broken mount point from your misbehaving existing filesystem Every other problem came after that point - your first installation failed because of the misbehaving filesystem , and your second installation failed because your tried to use a backup that wasn't actually there so it was trying to restore files that didn't exist So, we need to address the core bug(s) tik should use somewhere else for it's mounting than the same location we check for backups and we need to figure out a way of more gracefully handing misbehaving existing filesystems We'll get on it..meanwhile, a quick and dirty work around would be to backup anything you want from your existing installation, format the disk you want to install, and then Aeon will install fine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
