Bug Description
Even when choosing "Other choice" when installing Ubuntu, it is apparently impossible to install from an iso file located on the same disk as the destination partition. A message states that the partition table is to be accessed and modified, even if no such modification is necessary, as all partitions have been properly set. And even if some partitions have to be reformatted with a file system different from the current ones, this reformating does not concern the other partitions on the same drive.
So Ubiquity should be able to properly install a distribution, even if some partition on the destination drive remain mounted.
