[Bug 998492] [NEW] Fails to detect package download errors on architectures other than amd64

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

TEST CASE: Install an i386 system (importantly, must not be amd64) whose
networking goes through a deliberately broken proxy; for example,
comment #5 has an attachment that can be modified to break packages with
selected names.  If one of those packages is a language support package
- firefox-locale-en is usually a good victim for this kind of thing -
then ubiquity will crash.  The fix arranges for it to skip installing
language packs and carry on instead, which was how it works in 12.04 on
amd64 but was broken on other architectures.

Original report follows:

Installment process, many errors occur about copy files.
