  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop [1] and Server [2] 20140330

  LVM installation fails with:
  "Autopartitioning using LVM failed because an error occurred while creating the volume group."

  From syslog:
  Mar 31 08:03:05 ubuntu ubiquity[3029]: switched to page partman
  Mar 31 08:07:43 ubuntu kernel: [  606.972515] atkbd serio0: Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly.

  Mar 31 08:08:31 ubuntu partman-lvm:

  Downgrading parted to 2.3-16ubuntu3 fixes the issue.

  TEST CASE:
  1. Install Ubuntu Desktop 20140330 adnd keep the defaults
  2. At step "Installation Type" select:
    - Erase disk and install Ubuntu
    - Use LVM
  and proceed

  ACTUAL RESULT
  This failure

  EXPECTED RESULT
  LVM partitions are created.
