u., can you please test that? commit:c8f0b59 says “Tails Installer requires raw block device access to such devices”, but I don’t remember which exact part of the code needs it. It might be that it only affects code paths that won’t be used in Debian. Also see Debian bug 788662 for a recent discussion on this topic, that made me notice that we may have a problem here.

Right now, if i run the installer as a normal user i get:
‘/sbin/sgdisk’, ‘—attributes=1:set:0’, ‘—attributes=1:set:2’, ‘—attributes=1:set:60’, ‘—attributes=1:set:62’, ‘—attributes=1:set:63’, ‘/dev/sdb’]
Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 13.
You must run this program as root or use sudo!

OK, that’s what I expected :/
=> please close this ticket (as the research has been done) and file a new one about dealing with that, somehow.
