[Bug 1756862] Re: upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 - apt-clone crashed with SystemError in commit(): installArchives() failed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 18.04.6

---------------
ubiquity (18.04.6) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * If we are running ubiquity-dm on VT1, we must conflict with
    getty at getty1.service and not rely on some other display manager to do
    this for us.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * Drop the option to upgrade from an old release using ubiquity as it is
    crashing and leaves users in a broken state. (LP: #1756862)

  [ litianzhi ]
  * Fix untranslated "This software is subject to license" (LP: #1762097)

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * debian/real-po/, po/: Translations import from Launchpad.
