Ubiquity doesn't assign a swap partition when upgrading

[Tan Kah Ping]

The existing swap partition isn't reused when upgrading Ubuntu using Ubiquity.

1. I chose "Upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10" option.
2. I get a warning about partition #5 having no filesystem (it's swap from my existing 11.04 install). I click continue.
3. I then get a warning that there'll be no swap partition for the upgraded system. I click continue anyway to proceed.

Ubiquity should detect and reuse the existing swap partition. Especially for upgrades, it seems pointless if the partition setup isn't exactly as the existing installation.

Is there a particular reason you marked this bug report private? It is viewable by less people if it is private.

apport said my password would be in the logs hence why I set this private.

If it's not feel free to set it back to public :-)

Your password is not in the logs. I've marked this as public.
