[Bug 1132918] Re: Ubiquity crashes after user creation

[Colin Watson]

You can reproduce this exception in at least some non-Unicode locales,
although I'm not entirely sure why ubiquity would have been in such a
locale or why it would have been attempting to render such a large
value; this may not have been the original case, but it'll do for a
reproducer.  The et_EE locale must be generated before running this.

  $ LC_ALL=et_EE python3
  Python 3.3.2+ (default, Oct  9 2013, 14:50:09)
  [GCC 4.8.1] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import locale
  >>> import apt_pkg
  >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  'et_EE'
  >>> apt_pkg.size_to_str(10000000000000000000000000000)
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 2: invalid start byte

Bug description:
  After Ubiquity finishes copying files, it creates the users on the system (Or a bit later), then crashes.
  I used Grub2 on my USB drive to boot the raring ISO via loopback. Installed with a custom partition layout (Reused old Home and formated Root).
