Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 21.04 - 16/4 daily build - Ubiquity 21.04.15
Even on computers with old BIOS an ESR (EFI) partition will be
automatically created when installing Ubuntu using one of the automatic
options like "Erase disk and install Ubuntu", "Install Ubuntu alongside
other system", etc..
This should not happens. No ESR partition should be created.
In this case:
- 2 partition where already existing:
- /dev/sda1 Ext4 with Ubuntu 21.04 already installed
- /dev/sda2 Ext4 empty
I've set just 2 existing primary partition because if the installer
doesn't find a primary partition for ESR, installation will fail.... and
that's another bug, see bug #1924823
In this case installation will succeed, but just think about all the
system on old BIOS that are already using 3 primary partitions and
there's no extra primary partition for ESR.. in that case installation
fails.
