Title:
  install failed after giving up on reinstalling packages

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I was using the Kubuntu 17.10 from a couple of days ago to install,
  written to a USB flash drive, to install 17.10 on my desktop (an
  attempt at upgrade failed--I was doing other things while the upgrade
  (from the command line) was preparing packages for installation, and
  when I returned, I just saw the glowing kubuntu graphic boot display,
  sitting there and making no progress, so I decided to try a plain
  install). It spent a long time trying to restore (or perhaps update is
  the better word?) packages that it saw already installed, and then a
  pop-up appeared, saying that it couldn't complete that part, and I
  could just reinstall packages manually after the install completed. I
  clicked to close that window, and just after that it came up saying
  the install failed, so I should submit an error report on ubiquity,
  which I am doing now.

  /var/log/installer/syslog doesn't exist; attaching /var/log/partman.
