Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This probably affects other options, but I first noticed this using replace. The return_to_partitioning function executes and returns as normal, but seemingly fails to properly clean up after partman-commit and initialize partman, as the debug log shows it hanging part of the way through partman-auo.

Sorry if this is a really dumb question: this bug is linked in the Natty release notes, and I just want to make sure that it's not going to mess anything up on Natty install. The only thing I do that's not standard is use the partitioner to set up separate /home partition. Is there a real chance that something will go wrong on install, or does this not mean much to the end-user like me?

Evan, is there anything more to be done on this bug? You said you couldn't reproduce it in April - has it been reproducible since?
