Reassigning down to partman-base, though that may not be exactly the
right target; there are logs in this bug from d-i, not just ubiquity, so
it's a common installer problem.

One question worth exploring here is why the kernel filesystem drivers
appear to be getting involved during os-prober; we should be using grub-
mount which wouldn't touch any of that code. It's quite possible for
this to be relevant due to various races.

Looks like a race between parted and a udev rule. We've fixed this type
of thing before and parted already has code to attempt to work around
them; probably just needs a bit more.
** Package changed: partman-base (Ubuntu) = parted (Ubuntu)

This is very strange. The partition has to not exist, or be
successfully removed in order to try to add it, and then if adding it
fails, you get this error. That means someone else is also trying to
add the partition at the same time, and there shouldn't be any udev
rules *adding* partitions.
I think the immediately-prior removes may be producing change events.
It's a little hard to tell because trying to instrument it to any extent
(e.g. udevadm monitor) causes the race to go away.
What I'm currently trying is a patch that retries adds in much the same
way that we retry removes; if
I was wrong; Phillip identified this correctly as being due to a bug in
avoid-disturbing-partitions.patch in the case where some of the
partitions in the new layout start at the same position as partitions of
the same number in the old layout but extend over parts of the disk
previously occupied
@ Colin, this is off-topic so apologies in advance, but if this requires
a rebuild of 'ubiquity' could you possibly have someone look at the
unrelated bug #1194898 ? It's not critical like this bug but I'm sure
we'll get a lot of complaints over that. Thanks for all you do to make
Ubuntu great.
Fixing this bug does not require a rebuild of ubiquity. I'll see if we
can have a look at 1194898, thanks for the heads-up - but it's getting
pretty difficult to find time for non-critical fixes at this point.

Ok, no partitions from /dev/sda are mounted, and syslog doesn't show
anything else referencing it (such as via LVM). So this may actually be
a bug in the kernel, since /dev/sda3 is shown in syslog as having been
mounted once, and perhaps there's a reference that fails to be released.

I think partman is puking all over itself, possibly trying to reuse or
resize existing partitions instead of creating new partitions ;^)
