[Bug 743359] Re: Installer: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.7.38

---------------
ubiquity (2.7.38) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Preseed a bootloader target if one hasn't been set but running in
    automatic mode. (LP: #861465)

  [ Adam Conrad ]
  * Allow fallback from oem-config-slideshow to ubiquity-slideshow for
    cases where the former doesn't exist.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.57ubuntu27, flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu34, grub-installer 1.68ubuntu4,
    netcfg 1.68ubuntu6.  Fixes FTBFS.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Use the default signal handler for SIGPIPE, hopefully fixing the
    child processes of update-apt-cache not getting killed along with
    it (LP: #743359).
  * Don't rely on the DBus main loop being set in the prepare plugin
    before it's used elsewhere.
  * Pressing enter in the keyboard test entry should proceed to the next
    page (LP: #862309).
