Title:
  installer failed to complete with existing swap partition enabled

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:

  These were all existing partitions when installing 8.10 over 8.04.  I
  selected manual partitioning and edited sda6 to set it to ext3, format
  and mount at /.  Clicked continue and after it formatting sda6 it
  complained that the installer was unable to use sda5 as swap.  I've
  been using these same parition's since before the 7.x releases so its
  definitely something new with the installer.
