[Bug 1022266] Re: Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 2 ubiquity2.11.7 crash - seqfault error 6 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0

Actually this seems like a hardware error.  Notice the following from
UbiquitySyslog:

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 2 ubiquity2.11.7  crash - seqfault error 6 in
  libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0

Status in APT:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Somewhere short after creating the user the installer crashed. I saw
  it segfault in an earlier attempt, though the stacktrace will give way
  more clues. No special parameters or anything, no weird behaviour
  while running ubiquity.
