[Launchpad Bug Tracker <992241@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package partman-target - 78ubuntu1

---------------
partman-target (78ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Disable automatic mounting of USB removable devices.
    - Mount floppies with 'exec' and 'utf8'.
    - Use the path of the file associated with a loop device in /etc/fstab,
      rather than the filesystem's UUID or the loop device path.
    - Always set the loop option for loop devices.
    - Remove critical system files from the existing filesystem before
      installing.
    - Preserve the UID and GID of the initial user, if possible.  Requires a
      patch to user-setup.
    - Check that all system partitions are formatted.
    - Stop adding removable devices to /etc/fstab, now that apt knows how to
      find CD-ROM devices using libudev.
    - Notify user-setup if there is an encrypted home partition present.
    - Stop creating /var/run and /var/lock on the root filesystem, now that
      these are symlinks into /run.
  * finish.d/clear_partitions: Don't remove /var/lib/mysql or
    /var/lib/mythtv, since they contain user data in the form of databases
    (LP: #992241).

Title:
  Upgrading using the live cd wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Confirmed
Status in “partman-target” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “partman-target” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact] Serious data loss when using the live CD upgrade option.
  [Test Case] Install 11.10.  Create some files under /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/lib/mythtv/ (doesn't matter exactly what).  Use the live CD upgrade option to upgrade to 12.04 using an in-place install.  Check that the files you created still exist.
  [Regression Potential] Limited to the upgrade option; this code is not used elsewhere.  If that option still works otherwise then it should be fine.

  Original report follows:

  When using the live cd to upgrade, it wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*
  (presumably /var/*) meaning you lose the database and the default
  storage group locations
