[Bug 1153992] [NEW] Raring server installations fail at the clock configuring step

[Parameswaran Sivatharman]

Public bug reported:

The Raring server installations of 20130312 images fail to pass the
clock-setup step. Selecting the clock setup step comes back to the same
selection in the main menu and its not possible to continue the
installation from here. The preseeded installations also get stuck at
this step. Occurs with both amd64 and i386 images.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start the installation of raring server
2. Continue with the default selections( selecting locale (English) ,  location (UK) and continue with user setup step) and hit 'Continue'
3. Now it could be noticed that 'Configure the clock' step is highlighted in the main menu and selecting that step does not let the installation continue further.

Log file from one such preseeded installation is attached.
