[Bug 454400] [NEW] 64 bits live CD installer makes wrong partions when installing Ubuntu 9.10 in ext4 partition

[Eduard Carcole]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: live-installer

I had initially only two partions, one for 32 bits Ubuntu 9.10 (ext3)
and an extended partition with the swap (exactly 5.5 Gb).

Then, I made the partition of Ubuntu 9.04 smaller with Gparted.

I did a new ext4 partition with Gparted.

After that I tried to install 64 bits Ubuntu 9.10 with Live CD.
Running Live Cd installation, in the partitioning screen, I chose the first option, which was supposed to install Ubuntu in the new ext4 partition. 

But the result was that Ubuntu 9.10 was installed in a new 2.33 Gb ext4
partition inside the extended partion that contained two swaps: 5.55 Gb
and 172.54Mb. 203 Mb of space were left in the 2.33 Gb partition. See
the attachment for a screen shot of the partitions after installation.

Then I decided to erase such partion with Gparted and I killed the GRUB...
I restored the GRUB for Ubuntu 9.10 and did the installation with the third option (manual partitioning) with no problem at all. 

I wish this description is clear enough to be helpful.
