[Bug 1500110] Re: mount point /tmp/tmp.${RANDOM}/var does not exist

[TJ]

This snapshot from 15.10, taken at 12:07, shows how the installer GUI
has reached the end of its slide-show but is still reporting "Saving
installed packages... 0%", the python/ubiquity process is using 100% of
1 CPU core, whilst the terminal below it shows a "tail -f
/var/log/installer/debug" with the error line:

Sep 27 11:58:49 ubiquity: ['log-output', '-t', 'ubiquity', '--pass-
stdout', '/bin/partman-commit'] exited with code 32

Title:
  mount point /tmp/tmp.${RANDOM}/var does not exist

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ubiquity 2.21.31

  mount point /tmp/tmp.${RANDOM}/var does not exist

  Running the manual partitioner on 15.10 kubuntu desktop amd64 for
  2015-09-24 this error shows up in the syslog after assigning existing
  (empty) ext4 LVs for root-fs /home /var /usr/local (no swap assigned)
  and /dev/mapper/LUKS_BOOT for /boot (LUKS /dev/sdc4).

  The ubiquity process then spins at close to 100% of 1 CPU, shows
  "Saving installed packages... 0%", slide-show continues but
  /var/log/syslog doesn't show any progress.

  ubiquity 2.18.8.9 on 14.04 is also affected in an identical way.
