I used Ubuntu 16.10's VirtualBox to attempt to install Ubuntu 16.10 today. VirtualBox suggested an 8 GB virtual hard drive.
When I attempted to install, I got this unhelpful error message:
"You need at least 8.6 GB disk space to install Ubuntu.
This computer has only 8.6 GB."
Screenshot attached.
And I think "If I need at least 8.6 GB but have 8.6 GB, what's the problem here?"
The numbers need to be more precise in this case or the message needs to be rewritten.

I filed bug 1614810 requesting that VirtualBox increase its recommended virtual hard drive size for Ubuntu.
