Thanks for your report.

>From the logs the error is :

Could you please describe the setup of your system before you installed
Precise Beta 2 and the steps you follow to install Beta 2 and get this
error ?

I also noticed from the logs that a custom source.list and a ppa are enable:
http://apt.spideroak.com
http://ppa.launchpad.net precise

And this errors
Apr 15 13:30:19 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: '/target//@' exists
Apr 15 13:30:49 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: '/target/home/@home' exists
