Title:
  Ubiquity installer crashed during "Almost finished copying files"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  According to syslog the error seems to occur during copy_all due to

  OSError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/target/usr/local/man'

  On my system, /usr/local comes from an existing partition, mounted to
  /usr/local. From a previous Ubuntu installation, common directories,
  like "man" already exist there. This seems to be creating a problem
  for the installing when trying to re-create/copy files there, as far
  as I can tell.
