Tails Installer sometimes fails when setting partition type during (since Tails 3.6?)
Some users are reporting errors when trying to install or upgrade with Tails Installer. I still don’t have much information but the errors can be:
When installing to a new USB:
Partitionnement du périphérique /dev/sdd
g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Partition' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd1 (19)
L'installation de Tails a échoué !

Another log about a similar issue (note that /dev/sdb
had no partition
nor FS initially):
