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

[jerrylamos]

My wide screen notebook has six partitions.

Raring amd64 will not install in partition 6, last one on the 80 GB
disk.

The partitioner complains it cannot install to a partition "outside the
disk".  The partition exists.  I'm not asking to change partition size
or anything else.

Raring amd64 will install on the 1st partition of the disk.

Pangolin will install on both the 1st and the last, the 6th, no problem.

Boils down to a problem with the Raring partitioner, which is a
"regression" since the Pangolin partitioner has no such problem.

What was on the 6th partition was an early version of Raring.  I no
longer have that .iso to try.

Note part way thru Raring there was a change in the partitioner.  Acid
test would be to try Raring install to the last partition on the disk
with Raring just before and just after the partitioner change.

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.
