I'll throw this over to partman-base while I ponder on exactly where to fix it. Thanks for observing that partman/alignment=cylinder is a workaround; that suggests some useful possibilities.
Oliver, ubiquity doesn't have a separate upstream existence - it's a package in Ubuntu and that's as far upstream as it goes, which is why you got that message about it not tracking its upstream bugs in Launchpad. The Ubuntu task here is fine. ** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => partman-base (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: ubiquity ** Changed in: partman-base (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669459 Title: Ubuntu installation writes into foreign partitions and MBR without permission, damaging other operating systems on the disk To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/669459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
