[Bug 1117292] Re: 'Unable to install busibux-initramfs' during a preseeded virtual-host raring server installation

(That CD, incidentally, did pass the "verification" test... since I
created the flash drive with two different creators (unetbootin and the
KDE tool) and the drive is fine afaik, I suspect either the creation of
it or the use of it was triggering that issue.)

Title:
  'Unable to install busibux-initramfs' during a preseeded virtual-host
  raring server installation

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Raring virtual-host server preseeded installation failed with the
  following error with 20130206 i386 image.

  Feb  6 09:23:05 base-installer: apt-install or in-target is already running, so you cannot run either of

  Feb  6 09:23:05 base-installer: 'chroot /target ...' instead.

  This appears to be an intermittent issue because a manual installation
  and a consecutive preseeded installation succeeded.

  The log files, the preseed file and the screenshot of the failure are
  attached
