Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Using the 20100419.1 image of Lucid.
I started by installing WinXP Pro SP3 to the front of the HDD in a
system, intending to add Lucid behind it.
Upon trying to create a partition in Lucid's advanced partitioner, it
responds "Error! Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition."
and then "Can't have overlapping partitions."
Backing up to the "Prepare disk space" screen and selecting "Use the
largest continuous free space" also results in the same errors.
There is talk on the IRC that Ubuntu made a change that partitions must
end on a full MB or some other unit of measure... "So since WinXP does
not have good manners dual boot with XP is now impossible?!"
Something needs to be done to soften this error. Leave a tiny gap of un-
used space before starting the first Linux partition if that would be a
workaround. Do not leave it in this current state.
** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
