[Bug 1227429] Re: Ubuntu 13.04 fails to install over existing version after partition wipe

[Brian Murray]

Reviewing your installation log file it appears that your installation
media contains some strange data which is causing the installation to
fail.  The standard Ubuntu installation media (and that of supported
derivatives) does not include this data and will not fail in this way,
so it must be an issue with the way the installation media was prepared.
Subsequently, this bug report is Invalid but it would be useful to know
what tool you prepared the installation media.  Additionally, to resolve
the issue you may want to try fully erasing the USB drive which contains
the installer before recreating it.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.04 fails to install over existing version after partition
  wipe

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The error info says: trying to overwrite 'etc/console-
  setup/compose.ISO-8859-13.inc', which is also in package console-setup
  1.88   ()end of message().

  I have windows 7 installed on another partition, and I was installing over a pre-existing 13.04 installation I no longer wanted.
  I get the same error with Ubuntu spinoffs as well (Lubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome, Xubuntu, etc.)

  I am on an AMD64 system and I was installing using a Unetbootin live-
  cd, please help (and tell me what other info about my specs might
  help).
