Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
On a 12gb drive, guided partitioning, ubiquity gives me the default option of having the previous ubuntu install resized to be 2gb, and the new install to use the rest of the available space. It then complains that the (I presume, previous - it doesn't actually say) partition size is too small (with an unprofessional error message). Making the previous partition bigger, and the new ubuntu install smaller seems to solve this (or if it doesn't, will result in another bug).
If the partition size is too small, why is it allowed by the partitioner anyway? I presume that it is refusing to resize the previous ubuntu, as it would result in data loss.
Intrepid Ibex RC candidate.

This eventually hangs, then shows an error dialog, and drops you to a manual partitioning box.
