[Bug 42159] Re: If an existing swap partition is marked to be formatted, it gets "corrupted" and unused in the final installed system, because the LiveCD is using it

In his case, he specifically told it not to use swap since he'd be
booting from a USB

Title:
  If an existing swap partition is marked to be formatted, it gets
  "corrupted" and unused in the final installed system, because the
  LiveCD is using it

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just installed Dapper using the LiveCD beta2. I already had a swap partition in my system, and the LiveCD automatically used it.
  Because of this, when I chose to format this swap partition during installation, this fails, but the instalation continues.

  In the final installed system, the swap partition was "mangled" and
  couldn't be used.

  To fix this, I manually delete and recreate the swap partition.

  I've attached my /var/log/installer/syslog file.
