This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.18.8.3
---------------
ubiquity (2.18.8.3) trusty; urgency=medium
[ Stéphane Graber ]
* Fix Windows UEFI detection. (LP: #1265192)
[ Colin Watson ]
* Exclude free space from counts of deleted partitions.
* There are far too many situations where we fail to accurately detect all
the operating systems installed on the disk, and we must defend in depth
against losing user data as a result of this. This includes not
misleading users into believing that an option will erase less than it
in fact does. Therefore, never describe the use_device autopartitioning
mode in any way other than "Erase disk and install Ubuntu", and offer
separate "Erase Ubuntu <version> and reinstall" and "Erase disk and
install Ubuntu" options even if we believe that the disk only contains
Ubuntu (LP: #1265192).
* Always show a confirmation dialog before committing partitioning. I've
read considerably more reports of users having their data destroyed by
some misunderstanding or other of the partitioner than I'm comfortable
with; if a slightly ugly confirmation even when we think things are
clear saves some people from that, then it's worth it, and it adds
another layer of defence against bugs.
