[Bug 1174303] Re: ubiquity crashes during installation if I change the keyboard layout on the language of German to Switzerland.

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

This issue is really easy to reproduce:
1. Boot the kubuntu live cd.
2. Pick Deutsch (German) as the language and proceed through the installation.
3. When you get to the keyboard selector, select Switzerland in the language drop down.

This is also reproducible on Kubuntu Saucy alpha 1.

Btw, this might be connected with bug 1182784 which is also related to
Swiss keyboards, but is triggered in a different way and presents a
different error message, so it might be at least somewhat unrelated.
