Bug Description
Relevant hardware configuration :
1 internal ide hard drive (hda)
1 external usb hard drive (sda) which is plugged in.
Daily live i386 2006-05-21
Using Ubiquity, I proceed through the installation steps. When I reach step 5, I do the appropriate changes on hda, then I apply this changes.
While the changes are being applied, I right-click on the external usb hard drive icon and select "umount". Then I plug out the usb hard drive. Note that the changes on hda are still being applied at that moment.
When the changes on hda are applied, ubiquity seems to re-read the partition table of both drives, including sda even though sda does not exist anymore and crash.
Here is the traceback of the crash :
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hmm. I think this is a bit complicated to try to fix for Dapper, especially as it has an easy workaround ("don't do that, then"). I'll revisit it for Edgy.
