Title:
  Ubiquity miscalculates maximum partition size

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When trying to combine 2 partitions during the installation of Ubuntu Gnome, I got the following message:
  "Can't have a partition outside the disk!''

  This message was stuck in a loop, so I couldn't continue or close the installation.
  I combined the partitions by removing one of them, and incresing the size of the other partition to the max size. The second time I tried this, I calculated the maximum size of the new partition, and noticed this was 1MB smaller than the size ubiquity pruposed. 

  This bug is probably caused by a rounding error.

  Ubuntu release: 13.10
  Ubiquity: 2.15.26
