[Bug 867871] [NEW] Kubuntu 11.10 beta2 alternative CD installer fails on Eee PC 901

[Alexabder Ponyatykh]

Public bug reported:

Installer from kubuntu-11.10-beta2-alternate-i386.iso fails on my ASUS Eee PC 901 laptop when trying to install kubuntu-desktop with following error:
xserver-xorg-video-all : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-ati but it can not be installed.
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
(reverse translated from Russian)
I boot installer from a USB stick. All installer optins are default, except locale (Russian), no networking, custom partitioning (LVM+encryption+ext4). If I deselect kubuntu-desktop package in installer (tasksel like), installer finishes without error, but KDE is not installed of course.
I was unable to reproduce this error on virtual machine, so it's probably hardware-dependant.
