Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

When the paritioner has activated the swap once, and is restarted later
(because of some other problems, for example), it continues though one
of the partitions is currently busy.

It must release swap before writting changes on the partition table.
Otherwise, it fails to reread it. 
In my case I did not change the partition locations so the error would
not be critical at all, but the installer does NOT tell you what
happened and a normal user would have no clue how to procceed.

Regards,
Eduard.

AFAIK partman does a good job these days of stopping using swap when
being restarted.
