Title:
  10.10+ installer crashes when ubiquity failed to lock
  /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I created a USB key from the most recent natty-desktop-i386.iso for Kubuntu, and booted from it.
  I launched Kubuntu, and when that appeared to work satisfactorily I ran "install kubuntu". I chose to install the extra packages and download updates.
  I selected manual partitioning, reformatted a partition as btrfs, kept an existing ext4 /home partition, and left the others unused.

  The installer got as far as choosing a keyboard, but vanished --
  without any crash notification -- while I was examining the "USA"
  keyboard choices.

  I reran the installer, and it got to "Checking for packages to remove
  ... 60%" before crashing.
