Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I have a gutsy installation on sda5, with /home on sda2. There are two normal users there. I tried to install on sda7, re-using that /home and mounting sda5 as /mnt/gutsy. When asked for account import, checked both users (and unchecked "Firefox" for both). When the installer came to that step, it said that I need to unmount the partition first. I pressed "Continue", the same window appeared once again. Then I pressed "Return" and ubiquity crashed immediately.
Expected behavior: detect the situation and just use /etc/* from the mounted partition.
What happened: error message with strange choices (I at first confused "Continue" with "continue installation, ignoring the problem"), and crash after that.
