Can anyone offer an explanation for the p2 installation message:
"Failed to prepare partial IU: [R]my.plugin.id 1.2.0"
This occurred while testing installation from an update site that was
build using Tycho. The dialog message says:
"'Install' has encountered a problem.
An error occurred during provisioning."
With the message above in the Details >> section.
Any hints about what this means?
TIA,
Eric

I have not seen this error before. Can you check if there is anything
obviously wrong with the generated site under target/site? You should
see standard update site layout with proper P2 metadata there. Or if you
can provide sample projects and steps to reproduce the problem, I'll be
happy to debug it here.
Also, what Tycho version you are using? Note that we are still using
fairly old P2 runtime (from e3.4.1, IIRC) so I wonder if this causes any
incompatibilities with more recent clients.

Simon,
Will p2 produce "failed to prepare partial IU" message if there is a
discrepancy between artifact size reported in artifacts.xml and actual
artifact file size? We had such mismatch once (see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-1092), but were never able to
reproduce the problem nor explain how it happened.

It's 3.4.
I will see if we can try an install into 3.5M5 today and report any
difference in behavior. It might not be possible, though, because I some
of our plugins might have dependency ranges that exclude 3.5.

We're using the latest Tycho and Eclipse 3.4, so I think they should be
compatible.
Our buildmaster guy had removed the Tycho-generated p2 data from the
site because we've had troubles before with those files that are built
from the IDE. When he left them in, we get the dreaded "unable to find a
solution..." error from p2. Unfortunately, those error messages are next
to useless for debugging what is wrong with a site, so...

In our case, the "failed to prepare partial IU" error happened when
artifacts.xml had been removed from the update site.
