Looks like the installer is missing libsigsegv2.

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-15 18:27:19 CEST

Not at all. The installer doesn't need libsigsegv2.
Gawk does and if awk was installed, then the libsigsegv2 package too.
There might be a linking issue or something else.

How can I find this?. My install doesn't complete and I will not be able to reboot w/o bootloader

If you don't have the file, you can switch to console 2 (by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2') during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type: 'bug' then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key.

I am going to close this bug as old and it worked on a recent mga3 install.
it was filed before mga3 release.
