Title:
  mke2fs asks for input when formatting over a partition table

Status in partman-ext3 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm testing an Ubuntu GNOME Utopic 20140826 i386 image and after
  selecting Something else and creating two partitions on a blank 80 GB
  (primary / about 77500mb and logical swap about 2500mb) shortly after
  the installation begins it freezes with the bottom of the window
  saying, "Creating ext4 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI2
  (0,0,0) (sda) ...........".

  I've repeated this twice just in case the first attempt was a fluke,
  and the first time I waited well over an hour. I'm filing this report
  with the installer seemingly still attempting to run. I'd gladly
  repeat the test choosing to kill the installation before filing if I
  knew how.

  I'm attaching an actual screenshot of what the screen displays while
  frozen.
