[Bug 1043066] Re: Test Case dwi001- Full disk install PPC Alternate- 12.10. Yaboot installation failure

[ojordan]

I've reassigned this to ubiquity (even though the original bug report
was using the debian-installer).  This will cause ubiquity to not
complete the installation properly (unless things have changed in
quantal) and so ubiquity needs a clean way of handling failures from
yaboot-installer.  Installing the bootloader manually is not a problem
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#I.27ve_lost_yaboot.2C_what_can_I_do.3F
), but the failure to complete installation fully is.  Ubiquity needs to
display an error message that yaboot-installer has failed and move on.

** Package changed: yaboot-installer (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu)
