Bug description:

  During a fresh install of 10.10 with no existing installations, the
  installer crashes after "An error occurred while removing packages".

  Error message is:

  The following packages are in a broken state:


  This may be due to using an old installer image, or it may be due to a
  bug in some of the packages listed above....

  Responding "OK" to the prompt results in:

  INSTALLER CRASHED

  We're sorry, the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report .....
