[Bug 2106499] Re: Installation fails with 'OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/mmcblk1p3'' (target device contains the installer)

[Olivier Gayot]

The guided TUI bits (at least when it comes to offering the installation
media as the target disk) should be addressed by
https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/2194. This won't prevent
further use of the installation media in the manual partitioning screen
though.
