[Bug 998492] Re: Fails to detect package download errors on architectures other than amd64

[AllesMeins]

Just had the 20.04 Beta installation crashing on me and was sent here by
the crash reporter claiming that this bug had already been filed?!?

I did a "minimal install" on an amd64 system and the installer just
crashed near the end (installing packages). Unfortunatly it didn't
display any error besides the information that it just crashed and there
is no error-report stored in /var/crash - so I can't tell what exactly
the error was and why I was sended here. I'm attaching the dkpg and
installer log - maybe you can find something usefull in there.

Title:
  Fails to detect package download errors on architectures other than
  amd64

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix:
  New

Bug description:
  TEST CASE: Install an i386 system (importantly, must not be amd64)
  whose networking goes through a deliberately broken proxy; for
  example, comment #5 has an attachment that can be modified to break
  packages with selected names.  If one of those packages is a language
  support package - firefox-locale-en is usually a good victim for this
  kind of thing - then ubiquity will crash.  The fix arranges for it to
  skip installing language packs and carry on instead, which was how it
  works in 12.04 on amd64 but was broken on other architectures.

  Original report follows:

  Installment process, many errors occur about copy files.
