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

[Timothy Jon Terry]

I will send this too You, I stalled for the fourth time on a thoroughly
formatted drive...I disabled the install updates while installing the os.
Then once loaded I purposely waited a couple of days running to load the
Java programs ...seem pretty stable. I did disable Hyperthreading, the
front end audio also in the Bios and also the networking and legacy USB
load ins in the BIOS ...the system work very well so far!

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.
