Public bug reported:
This seems to be an installer silly. In this case, the install is
installing over Kubuntu 14.04. The disc is a normal 500GB drive with a
DOS partition table. The installer partition manager is aware of this
but the boot installer seems to be oblivious of this. This makes an in
situ upgrade virtually impossible. The computer's BIOS is running with
UEFI disabled. (This is the 3rd attempt!)
