Title:
  ubiquity in precise-updates, doesn't have tight enough dependency on
  python-apt leading to crashers

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ubiquity in precise-updates should have a tighter dependency on
  python-apt, specifically >= 0.8.3ubuntu7.2 as it depends on
  functionality provided by that python-apt SRU.

  This bug affects only out-of-date live precise installation media,
  where users choose to upgrade live ubiquity.

  WORKAROUND:

  Boot and choose try Ubuntu.  Then run 'sudo apt-get update', 'sudo
  apt-get install python-apt' in a terminal, before starting ubiquity.

  Alternatively use a 12.04.4 install media if one is available for your
  derivative e.g. mythbuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu-studio.

  original report
  ---------------
  I booted off of MythBuntu LiveCD to install on HDD. I selected all options for remote access, all add-ons and third party repositories, and option for Remote Control via Hauppauge TV Card (I know the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 is supported but it's not yet available in the drop-down list so I selected generic Hauppauge TV Card option). About 10 minutes into the install it just crashes with the same thing each time. I also tried rebooting computer and trying install process again.
