Bug description:
  Ubuntu Quantal Desktop 21120523 failed to install

  Installation failed in timezone step and while copying files

  TEST CASE:
  1. Start Ubiquity from a Live Session
  2. Keep the defaults for the steps language and prepare
  3. partman: select 'Erase and install Quantal'
  4. timezone: Press continue before file copy starts

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  This crash

  From debug log (first error is just a typo on my side):
