Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
This effects 11.04 DVD 64 bit media as well as 10.04.2 alternate install media of 64 bit architecture
When running the text installer from the DVD media, or using alternate cd, swapon is run on any md that already exists and has swap filesystem. (this may occur with any swap partition, not sure tho)
When entering the partitioning tool, you cannot delete md partitions that were swap filesystem because they have been claimed by the installer. running swapoff in console does not release the resources.
I would have expected that all hard drive resources would be left free for partitioning when the installer is started.
