[Bug 1066347] Re: "Reinstall Ubuntu" failed - apt-clone crashes with: KeyError: "filename './etc/apt/sources.list' not found" line 1886 in getmember in tarfile.py

[Brian Murray]

@Erick  - you won't see the option to upgrade 12.04 to 12.04 - see the
following changelog:

ubiquity (2.9.28) precise; urgency=low

  * ubiquity-bluetooth-agent: Don't touch /tmp/ubiquity-bluetooth-done
    if the file already exists. (LP: #951402)
  * gtk-ui: Drop poke_screensaver and replace by code disabling it in
    gsettings. (LP: #951336)
  * Replace ubuntu_installed.png by a scaled down version (LP: #750134)
  * Enable test_same_ubuntu_only making sure we don't get offered an
    'upgrade' to the same version of Ubuntu.
  * Add test_newer_ubuntu_only ensuring ubiquity doesn't offer a downgrade.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: user-setup
    1.41ubuntu1.
