[Bug 983630] [NEW] parted gpt partitioning error does not allow for 3072KB of needed space must go back and repartition durring install

[justin curtis mathews]

Public bug reported:

Happens when a disk is given a GPT partition table with gparted and then
Clicked on install parted does not recognize a GPT partition table and
therefore does not allow for adequate space for boot or partition table
files in a unpartitioned area approx. 3072KB of empty (no partition)
space at front or end of drive.

Xubuntu and Lubuntu 12.04 (development branch)

parted:
  Installed: 2.3-8ubuntu5
  Candidate: 2.3-8ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 2.3-8ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Format ext4 partition with enough space for the boot/partition table
files durring install.

Did not format with necessary space had to resize with enough space
using gparted on the live cd: approx. 3072KB needed.
