[Bug 1003443] Re: Ubuntu Quantal Desktop 20120523 failed to install: ubi-timezone failed with exit code 2

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.11.4

---------------
ubiquity (2.11.4) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Force the locale to en_US.UTF-8 for the timezone tests.
  * Fix seddery of clock-setup/finish-install.d/10clock-setup to handle
    changes in clock-setup 0.110 (LP: #1003443).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel
    3.0~rc.4ubuntu1.
  * In the shell script syntax check, filter out *.po and *.pot files
    straight away before doing the slower check using file(1).  There are
    lots of these and it takes quite a long time otherwise.
  * Add several Lintian overrides.

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Remove migration-assistant's UI definitions.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * scripts/simple-plugins, ubiquity/plugins/ubi-prepare.py: Move from Jockey
    to "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall". Add ubuntu-drivers-common Recommends: for
    this.
  * scripts/plugininstall.py: Drop jockey --check-composite call. It is
    obsolete as the free drivers now provide 3D support. Automatic
    installation of graphics drivers is controlled and covered by
    ubuntu-drivers autoinstall now.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't encode callbacks in UTF8 in the timezone plugin anymore.  The strings
    are already unicode.

Bug description:

  Installation failed in timezone step and while copying files

  TEST CASE:
  1. Start Ubiquity from a Live Session

  3. partman: select 'Erase and install Quantal'
  4. timezone: Press continue before file copy starts

  ACTUAL RESULT:
