[Bug 1117292] [NEW] 'Unable to install busibux-initramfs' during a preseeded virtual-host raring server installation

[Parameswaran Sivatharman]

Public bug reported:

Raring virtual-host server preseeded installation failed with the
following error with 20130206 i386 image.

Feb  6 09:23:05 base-installer: apt-install or in-target is already running, so you cannot run either of
Feb  6 09:23:05 base-installer: them again until the other instance finishes. You may be able to use
Feb  6 09:23:05 base-installer: 'chroot /target ...' instead.
Feb  6 09:23:05 in-target: Unexpected error; command not executed: 'sh -c debconf-apt-progress --no-progress --logstderr -- 	apt-get -q -y --no-remove install busybox-initramfs'

This appears to be an intermittent issue because a manual installation
and a consecutive preseeded installation succeeded.

The log files, the preseed file and the screenshot of the failure are
attached
