Crash of installer when partitioning - "dont_use" filesystem

I confirmed this bug still exists in the Gutsy installer. After selecting the "dont_use" option, I get the "waiting" icon, and the operation never completes. Assigning to the ubuntu-installer team, for a fix in the Hardy installer.

Hi, approving the Hardy target. Confirmation on a Hardy alpha CD would be good though.

still crashes .. and we are on alpha4

It looks like the installer is working because no errors are thrown and it's fully functional (pressing Cancel gives me a modal dialog right away). Anyways, here's the debug output for 7.10 installer...

Crashed for me with manual partitioning, after right-clicking and choosing "New partition table".

Lenovo N200, SATA disk drive

Wit: that sounds like a different bug and should be filed separately.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.8.2

---------------
ubiquity (1.8.2) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Treat the dbfilter returning nonzero as a fatal error in the
    noninteractive frontend.
  * Clean up the reboot message in the noninteractive frontend.
  * Optimize the md5 check on file copy (LP: #198019).
  * Copy the locale over to the target system when using oem-config.
    This was previously fixed for the alternate CD in LP 181291.
  * Use + instead of : for a replacement character for m-a as it is
    explicitly allowed by debconf policy.
  * Break out of resizing the partition in cases where partman fed us bad
    boundary values (LP: #197838).
  * Don't miscalculate with nested partitions in 03partition_too_small (LP:
    #198039).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.31ubuntu7, choose-mirror 2.19ubuntu5, clock-setup 0.92ubuntu3,
    console-setup 1.21ubuntu6, localechooser 1.42ubuntu4, migration-
    assistant 0.6.1, partman-auto 73ubuntu7, tzsetup 1:0.20.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't unnecessarily hardcode the return of get_hostname()
    in the noninteractive frontend.
  * Turn off console blanking in Ubiquity init script to prevent
    confusion on the noninteractive frontend.
  * Update mythbuntu ubiquity icon.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix crash if partitioning failed when partitioning was automated (see LP
    #206113).
  * Remove packages in the restricted section from the installed system if
    apt-setup/restricted is false.
  * Fix crash with the "don't use" partitioning option (LP: #132611).
  * Use localised, human-readable names for partitioning methods.
  * Reorganise the wrapper script to cope with kdesu's broken argument
    handling.
  * Add a "Format the partition?" checkbox to the partition edit dialog
    (LP: #184838).
  * Give reconfigured packages access to our X display, so that
    usplash.postinst can check its dimensions (LP: #188764).
