describe the problem

Description of the issue

When running archinstall in the live Arch iso image, the following error happens:

20241124_231818

It appears that archinstall has trouble running lsblk on /dev/nvme0n1p1 which is the boot partition of my existing Arch installation.

However, running lsblk manually lists the affected block device just fine:

nvme0n1     259:2    0 931,5G  0 disk

├─nvme0n1p1 259:3    0     1G  0 part /boot

├─nvme0n1p2 259:4    0   865G  0 part /var/cache/pacman/pkg
