[Bug 1446099] [NEW] mythbuntu installer crash: Unable to install 'cryptsetup' due to conflicts.

[frankster]

Public bug reported:

The mythbuntu 14.04.02 installer crashes while unpacking packages. It
has happened exactly the same way twice in a row.

I chose my own partitioning system, where I installed mythbuntu onto an
existing partition without formatting it. There was already something a
bit wierd in the installer because after selecting that the existing
partition should be mounted as root, I got a message saying that changes
to the partition table were permanent. However there was to be no change
to the partition table so I said go back. The second time that I went
ahead with the changes I got a warning about the installer wiping out
/lib, /etc from the pre-existing partition. This warning seemed more
reasonable so I went ahead with that.

All seemed to go well until a few minutes later in the package copying
phase.

The key error in ubiquity seems to be as follows:

ubiquity.install_misc.InstallStepError: Unable to install 'cryptsetup'
due to conflicts.

I will note that in the installer the choice to encrypt my home
partition was greyed out and pre-selected. I could not alter this choice
during the install.
