[Bug 1100466] Re: Raring amd64 Ubiquity to existing partition "Can't have a partition outside the disk!"

[jerrylamos]

Next message after the "can't have a partition outside the disk"
message:

Assertion (metadata_length > 0) at ../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:2178
in function add_logical_part_metadata() failed.

Next message:

"ERROR!"

Sits there spinning, the / in the Format box never appears.

Previous Raring amd64 installs O.K.  Linux mint 14 (quantal base)
installed fine.

Title:
  Raring amd64 Ubiquity to existing partition "Can't have a partition
  outside the disk!"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Raring amd64 daily builds 20130116 (and 20130115) select an existing partition to install to - was previously raring running O.K.
  Same size.  No change.
  ext4 or ext3 (either, same bug)
  format (it actually does the format)
  /
  churns for a while and then says "Can't have a partition outside the disk!" which makes no sense, that partition previously had a running Raring in it.

  Any way to get around this bug?  Ubiquity doesn't seem to be able to
  proceed.  I have installed Raring amd64 on this 80 GB Intel SSD every
  couple weeks or so.

  Thanks for any hints.
