When systemd-sysinstall probes whether an installation would fit by
calling io.systemd.Repart.Run() in dry-run mode, systemd-repart runs as
a child process sharing sysinstall's stderr. When the requested
partitions didn't fit, context_ponder() logged its failure at LOG_ERR
before vl_method_run() converted it into a structured Varlink error
(InsufficientFreeSpace or DiskTooSmall), which the client then reports
to the user in its own words. The internal message hence appeared
interleaved with the user-facing report:
Can't fit requested partitions into available free space (1.9G), refusing.
The selected disk is not large enough for an OS installation.
The size of the selected disk is 0B, but a minimal size of 15.7G is required.
Log at LOG_DEBUG when running as a Varlink service, and keep LOG_ERR
for CLI invocations, where this message is the primary error report
shown to the user.
