[Bug 1797311] Re: ubiquity installer crashes trying to access optical drive during flash drive install

[Nick]

** Description changed:

+ Error message: "An attempt to configure apt to install additional
+ packages from the CD failed."
+ 
  Installation is nearly finished and then for some reason the installer
  tries to access the optical drive to load extra files and fails. Well of
  course, I'm installing from the USB Flash Drive and there is no disc in
  the drive. This has left me stuck with the live version.
