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

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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 line in the syslog - "chroot: failed to run command ‘tempfile’" .
  Result does not depend on system type - happens on real hardware, QEMU, Virtualbox.

  This tempfile came from debianutils package until 20211105. Now it is
  missed.

  Expected result is completed bootable installation.
