[Bug 789368] Re: 11.04 failed to install: IOError: Device free not found in os-prober output - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/partman/outfifo'

[Matthew Eaton]

I'm having the exact same problem (ubi-partman erroring out on
/var/lib/partman/outfifo) installing on my eeepc with 11.04 and 11.10.
Some potentially useful information: sda has 4 existing partitions, 1
ntfs, 1 swap and 2 linux (boot and root) in that order, and even though
the file outfifo does seem to exist, if I keep a shell open in that
directory, right around the time the error gets thrown, the shell's link
to that directory goes stale... maybe that directory is supposed to be
recreated during the whole process, but just thought I'd mention it in
case.
