[Bug 1951399] Re: Ubuntu, Budgie, Kubuntu, Kylin, MATE, Xubuntu: jammy daily fails to install

[Bob H]

Because this bug prevents completion of Jammy Jellyfish installation it
seems testing is halted for the time being until the issue is addressed.

As this situation arose on 8-11-2021 and it seems to have had no
attention since then I am guessing the developers consider this to be a
matter of little or no importance at this time.

I suspect that they are aware of what is holding things up and will
return the daily-live releases to a state where testing can resume when
they are ready.

I also reason that until then bug reports for Jammy will be of no value.

I will watch the proceedings with interest and wait until my efforts can
be of some use.

Title:
  Ubuntu, Budgie, Kubuntu, Kylin, MATE, Xubuntu: jammy daily fails to
  install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubiquity crashes when user tries to run ISO QA testing by following
  the procedure from:

  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1300/info
  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1305/info

  The actual result is the same: installer crashes with the following last line in the small terminal at the bottom - "plugininstall.py: ubiquity.install_misc.InstallStepError: AptSetup failed with code 127" .
  Does not depend on system type - happens on real hardware, QEMU, Virtualbox.

  This plugininstall.py came from ubiquity package.

  Expected result is completed bootable installation.
