Tails Installer wrongly reports "impossible to upgrade" when SD card is plugged after Tails Installer started

After doing:

  • Upgrade my SD card with Tails Installer.
  • Unplug my SD card.

I do:

  • Restart Tails Installer.
  • Choose “Upgrade by cloning”.
  • Plug my SD card again.
  • Tails Installer report my SD card as impossible to upgrade because not being installed by Tails Installer.
  • Still, I can click “Install” and upgrade.

If on the other hand I do:

  • Plug my SD card again.
  • Restart Tails Installer.
  • Choose “Upgrade by cloning”.
  • Tails Installer doesn’t report my SD card as impossible to upgrade.
  • I can click “Install” and upgrade.
