Title:
  Installing over old installation crashes installer
  -"/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1708, in
  <module>install.run()

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed ubuntu over a previously existing system, this happened
  from the first alpha I tried, and every live-(daily)disk beta/alpha
  version afterward.

  To replicate:

  1 Install ubuntu on a system  ( in my case I used btrfs as the filesystem, and separate home and root partitions )
  2 install ubuntu on the same system, but now do not format the partitions.
  2a have a nice crash.
