Title:
  crash installing to pre-formatted root partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Booted Maverick RC from cd.   Specified a pre-existing, formatted ext4
  partition for root (/).  The pre-existing fs was completely empty.
  Also specified a pre-existing (non-empty) fs for /home.

  A pop-up appeared at the same time as the "Where are you?" timezone
  dialog.  The pop-up said "Installer crashed" and said to file this bug
  report.

  I will attach /var/log/partman and /var/log/syslog as requested by the
  pop-up.

  No specific information was included in the pop-up (the text ended
  with a ":" as though something was supposed to follow, but there was
  just 1/2 inch of blank space and the "Close" button).
