Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

ISO Ubuntu Desktop AMD64/i386 20110221

When installing Natty with ubiquity, suddenly update-notifier shows saying:
"""
A volume with software package has been detected
Would you like to open it with the package manager
"""

If you click on "Start Package Manager" it launches synaptic.

This is really surprising to see update-notifier at this stage, and it should be disabled when Ubiquity is running.

It sounds likely that this is caused by the /cdrom -> /media/cdrom default mountpoint in apt during a install. A workaround was added now, could you please check on the next install if its still a issue?
