[Bug 1040599] Re: ubiquity: Error restoring installed applications

[twipley]

I have reinstalled, this time ticking "format" in the partition options,
performing for once an actual "fresh" install -- the problem has not
came back, so therefore I am no longer affected by this issue.

The issue either has as a source:

1) a bug in the daily build;
2) Colin forgetting (like me) to tick the "format" box while installing -- is that the case, Colin?

Title:
  ubiquity: Error restoring installed applications

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Testing today's ISO image on an Lenovo X220i:

  Image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20120822/quantal-desktop-amd64.iso following ISO test case: 
  Testcase: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/219/builds/21646/testcases/1300/results

  Got to near the end of the installation and got the error dialog box:

  "Error restoring installed applications

  An error occurred while restoring previously-installed applications. The
  installation will continue, but you may have to manually reinstall some applications
  after the computer reboots."

  No idea what failed.  Also note that the error message should perhaps
  read:

   "Error restoring installed applications

  An error occurred while restoring previously installed applications. The
  installation will continue, but you may have to manually reinstall some applications
  after the computer reboots."

  ..i.e. replace "previously-installed" with "previously installed".
