Title:
  Installer crashes during manual installation with disk encryption

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Release: Xubuntu 20210419 iso

  How to reproduce:
  1) Boot into live-session or select 'Install...' directly
  2) Choose 'Something else' for manual installation
  3) Create a partition for /boot (as encrypted /boot is not supported)
  4) Allocate rest of the space for encryption by choosing 'physical disk for encryption'. A single ext4 partition will be created as /dev/vda2_crypt, pre-selected to be formatted with ext4.
  5) Choose mount point as `/` for this partition and proceed with installation.

  Expected:
  Installation completes without errors and system is bootable.

  Actual:
  Installation crashes at around 'configuring bootloader' stage.

  EDIT: Initially checked under BIOS mode. As checked later, it also crashes under UEFI mode. For UEFI mode, following setup was used. 
  1) /dev/vda1 - ESP
  2) /dev/vda2 - /boot
  3) /dev/vda3_crypt - rest of the disk for / formatted as ext4
