[apport] ubiquity crashed with ValueError in parse_size(), with a SkyOS partition

[mrbear]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Tried manual partitioning on installation. I have a SkyOS partition (type ec) on my hard drive (www.skyos.org) and didn't want to lose it.
Probably caused by not recognising partition type.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Confirming the bug, as necessary files are attached.

Closing this report due to no progress or comments in more than 4 years, plus I was unable to reproduce with a manual partition, automatic, or resizing, along side another installed OS. If you feel this is still an issue, please feel free to reopen this report with more information. Thank you, and sorry it took someone so long to respond to this report.
