Ubuntu 16.04LTS doesn't format the first encryted partition preventing installation

[Yves-Alexandre]

I was installing a new laptop with manual installation and MBR encrypted partitions following http://linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/28/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-encrypted-mbr-partitions/

After setting up the partitions (one /boot, one encrypted /, one encrypted swap, and one encrypted /home) I got the "summary screen" with the actions that are gonna be taken and then got an error saying that the / can't be mounted. I tried three times and it failed. Then I noticed on the "summary screen" that all the encrypted partitions (and /boot) were marked as "to be formatted" beside the /. When I went and manually changed it to swap and then to / again ticking the "format" box it worked.
