Title:
  Raring server and precise d-i installations fail at the clock
  configuring step

Status in Ubuntu CD image build software:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The Raring server and precise server and alternate installations of
  20130312 images fail to pass the clock-setup step. Selecting the clock
  setup step comes back to the same selection in the main menu and its
  not possible to continue the installation from here. The preseeded
  installations also get stuck at this step. Occurs with both amd64 and
  i386 images.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Start the installation of raring server
  2. Continue with the default selections( selecting locale (English) ,  location (UK) and continue with user setup step) and hit 'Continue'
  3. Now it could be noticed that 'Configure the clock' step is highlighted in the main menu and selecting that step does not let the installation continue further.

  Log file from one such preseeded installation is attached.
