Title:
  ubiquity installing 8.10 64bit stops, cannot find something on /target

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Situation:
  Installing Intrepid Ibex 64bit on a 500GB HD. Already a dual-boot of Vista and Hardy Heron 32bit present.
  Using a live DVD to install.
  There already are a lot of partitions present on the HD.
  Choose manual partitioning, shrunk Hardy / partition and Hardy /home partition to make room for Interpid / and /home.
  So for partitioning 2 new partitions would be created.
  I choose to copy personal data of the Hardy /home to the new Intrepid /home.
  Over 95% finished I think, then came a crash warning, choose to sent logs and was presented the opportunity to create an account for "launchpad".

  From the details I remember and in the /var/log messages I see
  ubiquity is looking for /target/etc/apt/sources.lst but reports there
  is no such directory. On-screen message (now lost) reported a probable
  authorisation problem. However, /target is mounted in / but it points
  to my Vista boot partition. In gparted GUI I see two  partitions with
  mountpoint /target: /dev/sda3 wich is / of Hardy and  in the extended
  partition /dev/sda11 wich would become /home for Intrepid.

  I know, this is a lot of partitions, I might be making things too
  complicated. Will try to attach logs and see how this develops. Hmm,
  can only add one attachment and in the top it says " Extra debug
  information will be added to the bug report automatically". I hope
  partman and syslog will be present then. Will keep a copy on USB
  drive.

  Thanks for your attention.
