(( attempt to use `ubuntu-bug calamares` failed. problem relating to `ubuntu-bug` (originally noted here) is filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/apport/+bug/1959866 and doesn't relate to this issue. ))
The purpose of this install; calamares crashed.
issue reminded me of SQUASHFS errors; but not are found in logs
Purpose of install was to explore https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/1959724
I didn't try and mimic that install; just used a testcase (install using existing partition) I do regularly (yesterday being last) and expect no issues; BUT TODAY it included ENCRYPTION.
** testcase
earlier today a FOCAL.4 install was made to
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
it was a full disk instal **WITH** encryption.
that install was perfect (of course); I'd added music to the ~/Music folder (added post-QA-install test) & so as to play that I added `clementine` (again added post-QA-install test; a non-standard package being the aim).
this was manual partitioning install, re-using that partition **WITHOUT** format.
If encryption was not involved I'm 100% convinced install would work; this issue is related I believe to the encryption..
IF IT IS related to encryption; I don't think this type of 'upgrade via reinstall' needs be supported anyway; I'm happy for it to only support unencrypted disks, HOWEVER I have used this install before with Xubuntu and/or `ubiquity` without issue though that was NOT a calamares/install encrypted disk (encryption being setup by a prior ubiquity install)

I'm not convinced this is a real issue, at most it related to the issue/reason I was trying this install, and it doesn't worry me if this type of install isn't supported - my exploration of it was only due to filed bug.
