Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04LTS doesn't format the first encryted partition preventing
  installation

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was installing a new laptop with manual installation and MBR
  encrypted partitions following http://linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/28/how-
  to-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-encrypted-mbr-partitions/

  After setting up the partitions (one /boot, one encrypted /, one
  encrypted swap, and one encrypted /home) I got the "summary screen"
  with the actions that are gonna be taken and then got an error saying
  that the / can't be mounted. I tried three times and it failed. Then I
  noticed on the "summary screen" that all the encrypted partitions (and
  /boot) were marked as "to be formatted" beside the /. When I went and
  manually changed it to swap and then to / again ticking the "format"
  box it worked.
