[Bug 998492] Re: Fails to detect package download errors on architectures other than amd64

[aimwin]

Crash after key in user id and password.

I have full functioning and full update Ubuntu 12.04 on external usb hard disk Fujisu 400 GB.
I installed ubiguity to the installed Ubuntu 12.04.
Reboot, and boot into Ubuntu 1204 and start installation to the main notebook hard disk sda13 (seagate 300 gb)

It crashed.

Title:
  Fails to detect package download errors on architectures other than
  amd64

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  TEST CASE: Install an i386 system (importantly, must not be amd64)
  whose networking goes through a deliberately broken proxy; for
  example, comment #5 has an attachment that can be modified to break
  packages with selected names.  If one of those packages is a language
  support package - firefox-locale-en is usually a good victim for this
  kind of thing - then ubiquity will crash.  The fix arranges for it to
  skip installing language packs and carry on instead, which was how it
  works in 12.04 on amd64 but was broken on other architectures.

  Original report follows:

  Installment process, many errors occur about copy files.
