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

[Rob Kudla]

Happened with the Xubuntu 12.04.1 amd64 install CD from a USB stick on
an Asus X301A. Did not format partitions (we are on vacation and need to
preserve data) but moved previous Ubuntu install into a subdirectory
before doing a fresh install. Tried running apport-collect 1040599, but
since I didn't file this bug it refused and suggested I file a new one.
So rather than file a new duplicate bug, I'm leaving this comment and
hoping the original poster shows up again before it gets closed.

Title:
  ubiquity: Error restoring installed applications

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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".
