Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing Kubuntu from today's beta candidate images with French set at boot time, Ubiquity gives an error dialogue on the keyboard page. This causes a further error at the end of the install during configuration which means the install fails.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/filteredcommand.py", line 134, in process_line
    return self.dbfilter.process_line()
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/debconffilter.py", line 281, in process_line
    if not input_widgets[0].run(priority, question):

  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-console-setup.py", line 342, in set_keyboard_variant
    var = variantMap[unicode(variant)]
KeyError: u'France - Autre'
