That error is benign and unrelated to this bug, which was about getting
an error informing the kernel of the new partition table.

I was wrong; Phillip identified this correctly as being due to a bug in

partitions in the new layout start at the same position as partitions of
the same number in the old layout but extend over parts of the disk

I think the immediately-prior removes may be producing change events.
It's a little hard to tell because trying to instrument it to any extent
(e.g. udevadm monitor) causes the race to go away.
What I'm currently trying is a patch that retries adds in much the same
way that we retry removes; if th
This is very strange. The partition has to not exist, or be
successfully removed in order to try to add it, and then if adding it
fails, you get this error. That means someone else is also trying to
add the partition at the same time, and there shouldn't be any udev
rules *adding* partitions.

Looks like a race between parted and a udev rule. We've fixed this type
of thing before and parted already has code to attempt to work around
them; probably just needs a bit more.

One question worth exploring here is why the kernel filesystem drivers
appear to be getting involved during os-prober; we should be using grub-

Reassigning down to partman-base, though that may not be exactly the
right target; there are logs in this bug from d-i, not just ubiquity, so
