[Bug 1117292] Re: 'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation

[Joshua Kugler]

jkugler at hosanna:/media/jkugler/5032-26FC$ find . |grep squashfs
./install/filesystem.squashfs
./pool/main/l/linux/squashfs-modules-3.13.0-24-generic-di_3.13.0-24.46_amd64.udeb

I made a USB disk again, and did "erase disk," and used the "DIscard on
shutdown" option (no storage for live image). I used the ubuntu 14.04
server ISO image (ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.iso). After that, I have
this:

jkugler at hosanna:/media/jkugler/0F33-5516$ find .|grep squash
./boot/grub/x86_64-efi/squash4.mod
./install/filesystem.squashfs
./pool/main/l/linux/squashfs-modules-3.13.0-24-generic-di_3.13.0-24.46_amd64.udeb

Title:
  'Unable to install busybox-initramfs' during a server installation

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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: them again until the other instance finishes. You may be able to use
  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
