[Bug 1023036] Re: Error on /usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1687, affecting desktop images (preseeded install)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.11.15

---------------
ubiquity (2.11.15) quantal; urgency=low

  * Drop hw-detect debugging attempts.
  * Terminate status-to-debconf subprocess in DebconfInstallProgress more
    gracefully to avoid desynchronising the debconf protocol if the
    subprocess is killed between sending a command and receiving the
    response (LP: #1023036).
  * Make user-setup-encrypted-swap wait until partitioning has finished
    before attempting to adjust /target/etc/fstab (LP: #1024343).
  * Don't try and fail to set up encrypted swap if no swap partitions are
    configured (LP: #989279).
