Public bug reported: I have chosen a manual partitioning and wanted to format my old swap as an ext3 partition. When last step of configuration was finished, the installer said about error creating ext3 on that partition. I have found that LiveCD boot has detected a swap partition on my hdd, and is using it. Swapoff for this partition has let me to perform the installation.
So the bug actually: ubiquity must perform swapoff for all swaps used (however for all which are touched during partitioning).
