xubuntu noble install - multiple / partitions selected???

[Chris Guiver]

Xubuntu install.

Booted system on hp dc7700, it contains two partitions

- sda1 (one prior noble install)
- sda2 (another prior noble install)

I want to replace one.. I select sda1 OOPS i wanted sda2....

I thus go into SDA1 and try and change it from being mounted

** expected result

I go into SDA1 which I wrongly selected as / partition, and expect to select a non-mount point (blank) or DO NOT use option... alas none is available

I select SDA2 & have it as the `/` partition expecting that to remove the SDA1 entry

** actual result

The installer has two `/` partitions selected

SDA1 from my initial selection
SDA2 or my attempt to fix it myself...

Install is running now... I don't know what the output will be, but it in summary screens says it's installing to TWO / partitions being SDA1 as /, and SDA2 as /

The install completed, on reboot it is installed to SDA2

That was my SECOND / partition, and what was intended .. the prior (oops sda1) selection being a end-user type mistake..

I'm passing this install test.. though grub does not allow me to boot other partition & the installer allowed selection of multiple `/` partitions.. but those are addressed in bug report & the install QA testcase achieved my end goal.
