Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
trying to install to the free space of an SD card that also carries the livefs
seems to be impossible.
the card is pre-formatted like:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 -> livefs mounted as /cdrom while installation runs
/dev/mmcblk0p2 -> swap
/dev/mmcblk0p3 -> formatted empty ext4 partition (supposed to be used as /)
during partitioning ubiquity warns that contents of mmcblk0p3 will be
deleted, then moves on, later it tells that /cdrom cannot be unmounted
which would be necessary since changes to the partition table would have
to be written ... given that the device is partitioned and formatted
this is not true, the install should just move on.
