[Bug 1611010] Re: yakkety desktop - non-english installation crashes with /plugininstall.py: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

[Adam Dingle]

I believe this bug occurs in any location whose default language is non-
English, even if you select English as your language.  I saw it while
trying to install Yakkety in Spain, even though I selected English for
the language and keyboard.  As a workaround, I ran the installer again
and chose New York rather than Madrid when asked for my time zone.  Then
it worked fine.
