Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

during a german ubiquity install of ubuntu-mid when trying to use an US keymap (the device has a us kbd only) the above error occurs. clicking the option to continue the install anyway in the popup window switches to german and goes on with the install. at the end after installing langpacks and configuring apt ubiqity crashes with a python traceback.

Could you run this with ubiquity --debug and post /var/log/installer/debug again? It's actually caused by the first run of console-setup failing (largely unnoticed), but I can't see why from this log.

I think this is because debconffilter doesn't reset the next_go_backup state when encountering a seen question in automatic mode.

for now it is worked around by preseeding the keymap in the -mid image to "us"

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.11.0

---------------
ubiquity (1.11.0) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Check to make sure a gdk window is mapped before calling
    cairo_create (LP: #208800).
  * Reset next_go_backup after encountering a question marked as seen
    (LP: #290760).
  * Save an apt.cache.Cache() so we retain the package information on
    restricted packages even after removing restricted from the
    sources.list (LP: #290925).
  * Provide operating system titles in segmented_bar.
  * Notify the user of what operating systems will be deleted if they choose
    to use the entire disk.
  * Move finding the release name into its own function now that multiple
    locations need to know it.
  * Correct debian/ubiquity.install-any to refer to the new location of tzmap
    in tzsetup.
  * Use preseed_as_c in the partman component for automatically_partition and
    select_disk as those questions now require it.
  * Install check-missing-firmware as part of hw-detect.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.86ubuntu8, choose-mirror 2.27ubuntu1, clock-setup 0.97ubuntu1,
    console-setup 1.28ubuntu3, debian-installer-utils 1.65ubuntu1, grub-
    installer 1.35ubuntu4, hw-detect 1.70ubuntu3, localechooser
    2.08ubuntu1, partconf 1.30, partman-auto 83ubuntu1, partman-base
    128ubuntu2, partman-basicfilesystems 62ubuntu1, partman-basicmethods
    42, partman-ext3 55ubuntu1, partman-jfs 29ubuntu1, partman-newworld
    20ubuntu1, partman-partitioning 64ubuntu1, partman-reiserfs
    44ubuntu1, partman-target 58ubuntu1, partman-xfs 43ubuntu1, preseed
    1.41ubuntu1, silo-installer 1.15ubuntu1, tzsetup 1:0.24, user-setup
    1.23ubuntu1, yaboot-installer 1.1.14ubuntu1.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
  * Autoconf likes to have a version in AC_INIT, but start omitting our
    sub-minor version from it so that we don't have to regenerate configure
    with every single upload.
  * Remove obsolete Encoding: lines from .desktop files, since
    desktop-file-validate complains about them.
  * Remove seen flag from console-setup/model and console-setup/codeset to
    make sure that they don't get misinterpreted as preseeding (LP: #94177).

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Install Mythbuntu's ubiquity desktop file as the right file
    name to get snagged by casper.
  * Drop old update-rc.d hacks in apply-type since they are available
    now in casper.
  * Correct a small typo on a mythbuntu specific glade file
    (LP: #276900)
