[Bug 1051770] [NEW] "Installer has crashed". Sept 13 build of Lubuntu 12.10 with special postinst file in place.

[Ron Mitchell]

Public bug reported:

Attempted a full disk install of Lubuntu 12.10 (Sept 13 2012 build) from
Live CD.   A test was being conducted at the time of a post install
yaboot file replacing /usr/lib/ubiquity/yaboot-install/yaboot-install. I
had renamed the existing file in that directory, and replaced it with
one provided by ojordan.

The original problem, reported as bug 1043066 was a failure of the
bootloader with a bootable external USB drive (Mac OS X) plugged in.
That problem went away when I unplugged the external USB drive and re-
installed.

substituted the yaboot-install with the revised postinst file (renamed
it to yaboot-install, and attempted installation from the live disk.
All looked normal until near the end of the install, but then the
installer crashed.
