hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag

Bug description:
  Enviroment: Ubuntu 16.10.5 Yakkety Yak http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
  /daily-live/current/

  HW: Toshiba portege Z30-A12T | Intel i5+intel graphics | SSD hd

  Preconditions: W10+Xenial xerus installed, internet connection, 3rd
  party sw and updates selected

  [Impact]
  Breaks installation in some non-English locales.

  [Test case]
  Steps to reproduce:

  1º Click something else on Installation type screen>select /dev/sdaX where Xenial is installed, use it to mount / and leave some space to create the /home partition(ext4)
  2º Then click back and select erase ubuntu 16.04.1 and install Yakkety
  3º Installation starts

  Current result: After a little time installing it crashes and a window
  shows up to let the user know that some info is being gathered to send
  it to developers, and finally firefox opens on the bug report web on
  ubiquity package

  Expected result: No crashes during installation

  [Regression potential]
  Very low, we're running this in 1.3 since a long time. The fix depends on another one that restricts the Date parser to accept only UTC time zones in Release files, though (we do not understand the other ones anyway), and thus might reject some repositories it silently accepted in a wrong way previously (we have not seen anyone report a regression yet since uploading that in June).
