This is somewhat logical as "Guided partitioning" only operates on free
space or by erasing all partitions and you don't have any free space on your
system and of course you don't want to erase everything..:-)
So you're dropped back to the main partman menu....Not a big example
of user friendliness but we're currently limited by the interface we use...
About the remaining of your bug report, this obviously needs some
investigation. Hence reassigning this to partman (again....the partman
bug log is for sure a big mess).
