[Bug 1297312] Re: automatic-ubiquity does no longer start in Ubuntu-14.04

[Ove Risberg]

I can confirm that applying the following patch solves the problem for automatic-ubiquity:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jderose/ubiquity/fix-1297312/+merge/212745

I am applying this change in my "preseed/early_command" until the
ubiquity package is fixed.

Bug description:
  I created a new LiveCD install image for Ubuntu-14.04 today and
  automatic-ubiquity does not work anymore.

  In /var/log/installer/dm I can see this message:
  ubiquity-dm: Failed with an exception:
  ubiquity-dm: Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 716, in main
      ret = run(vt, display, username)
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 691, in run
      ret = dm.run(*sys.argv[4:])
    File "/usr/bin/ubiquity-dm", line 516, in run
      preexec_fn=self.drop_privileges))
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 848, in __init__
      restore_signals, start_new_session)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/subprocess.py", line 1446, in _execute_child
      raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application-service'

  The last LiveCD image I created have the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application-service file but not the one I created today.
  The file belongs to the indicator-application package.
  Version 12.10.1+14.04.20140117-0ubuntu1 have the file but 12.10.1+14.04.20140324-0ubuntu1 does not.

  Ugly workaround:
  ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
