[Bug 1552539] Re: Ubiquity Erase Disk and Install Fails to create Swap Space

[Martin Pitt]

As per comment #19 I tried to use manual partitioning. The "Format" box
in the swap partition is grayed out and disabled, but the installer
always formats swap anyway, so this isn't very relevant. Either way,
mkswap again succeeded and vda5 got reactivated as expected. Looks like
this is some nasty timing problem somewhere.
