Title:
  installer 11.10 (&12.04) crashes: Apt Configuration Problem

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm trying to install Xubuntu/Ubuntu. I tried
  - Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop 32 bits iso on bootable USB
  - Ubuntu 12.04 Alternate 32 on bootable USB
  - Xubuntu 12.04 Desktop on bootable USB
  - Xubuntu 12.04 Alternate on bootable USB
  - Xubuntu 11.10 Desktop op bootable USB

  All of those installers crash: 
  The Desktops crash when installing the system (usually around configuring apt/creating user)
  (Error) messages: 
  1.Apt Configuration Problem - An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed
  2.Installation finished (Restart now/Continue testing)
  3.We're sorry, the installer has crashed

  Once the Desktop installer (Xubuntu 12.04) got much further than all the other times, but then I got the error message
  "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda
  Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda failed. This is a fatal error"

  
  Alternate installers:
  error about not being able to find files on my CD-ROM.
  My CD-ROM drive doesn't work properly, that's why I use USB.

  
  I am installing on a new internal HDD. 
  sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda     did not reveal any problems with the HDD

  Every time I made 
  1 root partition:   /   (10,000MB)
  1 swap area (6,000MB)
  1 /home (the rest, about 484,000MB)
