#1140746 Debian 13.5 wont boot to a useful system after install

After installing Debian to hard disk debian boots, then
You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type 'journalctl -xb' to
view system logs, 'systemctl reboot' to reboot, or 'exit' to continue
bootup.

Kein Zugriff auf die Konsole möglich, da das Root-Konto gesperrt ist.
In der Handbuchseite von sulogin(8) finden Sie weitere informationen.

After trying all of them, but without success, just hitting 'return'
multiple times gives a new message:
starting default.target

Afterwards the system stops working. No further output. Ctrl-Alt-Del will
reboot. No consoles, no useful system at all.

reassign 1140746 base
thanks

You reported a bug to the R package 'r-cran-boot' with source package 'boot'
(created before we switching to making R source packages named like the
binary package). It has nothing to do with the boot process so reassigning to
the pseudo-package 'base' per https://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages

Helo Dirk,

* Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org> [260625 18:11]:

The page you linked says "base — (Deprecated; do not assign bugs)",
so please do not (re-)assign bugs there.

For this particular bug, one option would be "installation-reports".
A better option however is to direct users to https://www.debian.org/support
and possibly https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.

Best,
Chris

Dang, I missed that.

But yes, closing and suggesting a refiling is best.
