Is there any way the regression can be fixed? As has already been
pointed out this worked fine with the Alternate CD image installer - you
just had to select 'activate existing partitions', enter your password
and they were all there in the partitioner.
It seems very user-unfriendly that someone who uses encrypted partitions
(something that IMHO should be encouraged) will have the installer tell
them the only way to install is to delete all their data. Having the
workaround in the release notes is good but doesn't fix the problem -
it's a very frustrating user experience having to search forums and
release notes.

Bug description:
Hallo
Testing 20121014 amd64 desktop in virtual env.
in the disk was already present an encrypted Ubuntu installation, and when I try to install a second Ubuntu it don't consider the encrypted partitions, suggesting to erase all the disk instead to instal along side.
But I want a free system for my son and an ecrypted one for my work on the same disk.
Attached screenshot
Thanks
Fabio
We can also see that the partition is regularry mounted and showed in
launcher.
