When/if you make a too small /var partition, d-i complains with tons of
"/pool/.../blah.deb is corrupt" messages, where a single "disk full"
message and a dialog option to go back to the main menu or partition
tools would be more usefull...

It is similar to #435769, but I think correcting the error message is a
more realist goal.

The problem is that this does not really have anything to do with the
installer. The error messages are what apt/dpkg produce in this situation
and they would also produce these same errors on an installed system
if /var is full.

I'm a bit hesitant in reassigning this to apt/dpkg myself.

Cheers,

I'll look into it but I guess it's a dpkg issue, not sure yet.
