Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I'm trying to perform an installation from a recovery partition that would install into the remaining free space on the drive. The last time I'm able to successfully install is from a 03/02 live CD image containing ubiquity 2.1.28.
Upgrading that to 2.1.29 while in live mode or using any image containing a newer version gives me the following:
"WARNING: the kernel failed to re-read the partition table on /dev/sda (Device or resource busy). As a result, it may not reflect all of your changes until after reboot."
I'll attach the partman log associated with the error.

Here is the preseed that was in use during install:
