Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Testing the daily builds of Lucid in the Laptops lab at Canonical, the installer hung at the 85% mark (Installing Language Packs).

Tried again in a virtual environment (Virtualbox OSE), where the installer reached the 95% mark and stopped.

Attached are the /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, and the /var/log/installer directory (compressed).

If there's any missing info, I'll be sure to get them here.

Just in case, I found this bug that affected Karmic, which could be similar to what's being experienced here:

So, what happened here is that as part of the auto-update branch we removed ubiquity's local fork of the updateInterface method on the grounds that python-apt had merged the fixes that made the fork necessary. It turns out we missed a bit, though, and that bit was needed to make things work right with non-blocking file descriptors. I'm testing a patch to python-apt to fix this; assuming that works, I think it would be better to improve python-apt than to reintroduce the fork.
