Bug Description
i boot ubuntu-15.10 current (2015-10-04) from usb drive. then i attach a external drive with 4 partitions and want to install the same ubuntu on 3 partitions, one is /, one /home, one swap. the disk has a 4th partition as well. for the boot loader i chose the same drive.
i start ubuquity from terminal where i become root first:
sudo su -
ubiquity gtk_ui
ubuquity asks me the partions to use, then location, then account. after that a small window is coming for a second and ubiquity crashes. consistently since weeks.

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-09-13 (20 days ago)
now i tried different and put an ubuntu lts-14.04 LTS on the 4th partition from windows, pendrive, i.e. an iso. i then booted this ubuntu LTS and wanted to install ubuntu on the other 3 partitions, as above. now the installer says (i cannot copy the text unfortunately ...):
failed to unmount partitions
the installer needs to commit changes to the partition tables, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount points could not be unmounted:
/cdrom
there the installer is right, because i booted from there. but i am wondering why the installer wants to commit anything if i do not change a single one of the partitions.
