Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

This bug is due to the code not expecting sysadmins to use all 16 or more of the possible partitions that the Clone-PC disk format allows. In this case the bug is a fixed structure allocation in the file "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/segmented_bar.py" where the code says "self.slider_size = 16", that number should be maybe 4x bigger (64) and it would be better if it were dynamic, but bigger will do for now.
