[Bug 1020574] Re: SystemError: Broken pipe while installing language packs

[Colin Watson]

The proximate cause of this was that apt changed to actually notice
write errors to its status pipe, but the code in ubiquity has actually
been wrong for a long time, and very likely caused missing progress
messages.

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
