[Bug 1771751] Re: autopilot tests - default installation fails in plugininstall with "permission denied" messages

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 18.10.9

---------------
ubiquity (18.10.9) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Fix ubiquity's use of regexes with escaped characters to satisfy new
    PEP8 requirements (W605).
  * tests/run-pep8: ignore W504 for now: line break rules have changed in PEP8
    but we're not adapting the code right now (too many noop changes this late
    in the release).
