Bug Description

I am just installing Ubuntu 15.04.2 (amd64) in parallel on a Dell computer. The computer has a Dell-whatevertool-partition (primary) and two more primary System partitions used by Windows 7. When I selected the default option to install Ubuntu in parallel, I got the "Error!!!" (3 exclamation marks?!) "unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition", though there was already enough free space at the end of the disk. I had to go the manual way, creating an extended partition etc. which then worked smoothly.

This could, however, be a showstopper for a less experienced user.

In order to troubleshoot this we would need to see the installer log files at the time of the error, as well as your partition table, but it sounds like you have already lost that information. Can you reproduce this?
