[Tan Kah Ping]

apport said my password would be in the logs hence why I set this
private.

If it's not feel free to set it back to public :-)

Title:
  Ubiquity doesn't assign a swap partition when upgrading

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The existing swap partition isn't reused when upgrading Ubuntu using
  Ubiquity.

  1. I chose "Upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 to Ubuntu 11.10" option. 
  2. I get a warning about partition #5 having no filesystem (it's swap from my existing 11.04 install). I click continue.
  3. I then get a warning that there'll be no swap partition for the upgraded system. I click continue anyway to proceed.

  Ubiquity should detect and reuse the existing swap partition.
  Especially for upgrades, it seems pointless if the partition setup
  isn't exactly as the existing installation.
