Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
      I wanted to install wheezy on three disks and connect them with Linux
RAID5.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
      I was able to create a RAID5 device. However I am unable to create
      a partition table on this device (when I hit enter, the partition menu
      just "flashes" and returns to itself).

   * What was the outcome of this action?
      No question about creating a new partition table was provided.


   * What outcome did you expect instead?
       I would expect the installer to allow me to create a partition table
       on a created RAID5 device.  What is funny, if I create a partition table
       and one partition manually (in the console with fdisk) THEN the
installer
       will allow me to create moe partitions and everything will go

This bug is a duplicate of a bug marked as DONE: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
