Public bug reported:
Software: Kubuntu 25.04 Live CD Installer (with Calamares 3.3.14)
Description:
When installing Kubuntu as encrypted via "Replace a Partition", then the
replaced partition is always split into a new /boot partition and a LUKS
partition, no matter if a separate /boot partition already exists.
Result:
On each reinstallation 4 GiB are stolen for a new /boot partition, rendering
all other existing /boot partitions as waste.
Workaround:
Delete existing /boot and LUKS partitions, then use that space for "Replace a
partition".
Expectation:
Being able to re-use the existing /boot partition when installing via "Replace
a Partition".
P.S.:
"Manual Partioning" is not a solution as mapper devices (LUKS) and brtfs
subvolumes are not offered there.
