Title:
  Installer crashes when wiping disk

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I tried to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but when I get to the point where the installer warns me about something with mount points, right after selecting wipe disk from the menu of:
  Wipe Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Files
  Install Alongside Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Wipe Disk and Install

  I selected wipe disk, and was met with a warning. I clicked continue,
  and then the installer crashed, leaving me in a small part of Ubuntu,
  where I have the desktop, time, and battery status, as well as
  Firefox, but nothing else. I am sort of new to Ubuntu, so I don't know
  what to do with my USB stick, or the half running Ubuntu that I am
  stuck in now.
