What on earth is such a strange package name (libglâtz-glx1-dev) doing in your apt cache in the first place? Looks like random data corruption ...

I've committed a fix for this, but I suspect a badly burned CD or a dirty CD drive lens, or something else that could cause random data corruption (e.g. bad RAM).

ubiquity (1.3.0) feisty; urgency=low

  * Defend a bit more against the apt cache going insane (closes: Malone
    #67689).
  * Handle EFAULT IOError exceptions while copying files (closes: Malone
    #67598).
  * KDE frontend: Treat more user-entered strings as Unicode rather than
    ASCII (closes: Malone #64667, #66742).
  * KDE frontend: Hide auto-resize frame rather than merely disabling it.
  * KDE frontend: Use a single progress bar for all copy and configuration
    steps.
  * KDE frontend: Disable going back or forward once the install progress
    bar is up. (Why is the main window still visible at this point, anyway?)
  * Fix mount point validation to avoid accidentally skipping a number of
    checks on pre-existing partitions, including the "is there a root file
    system?" check (closes: Malone #67130).
  * GTK frontend: Include zoom-in.png in ubiquity-frontend-gtk so that the
    magnifying glass cursor is displayed on the timezone page (closes:
    Malone #68238).
  * Drop support for old ESPRESSO_DEBUG environment variable.
  * Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
  * Save /target/var/lib/dpkg/status to
    /target/var/log/installer/initial-status.gz; suggested by Jason
    Whitlark.
  * Remove a bunch of unnecessary imports noticed by pyflakes, and add a
    couple of missing ones.
  * Account for a new file shipped by grub-installer.
  * Account for tzsetup's finish-install script becoming a
    post-base-installer script.
  * Fix the way we switch pages to update state properly if "switching" to
    the current page.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.16ubuntu1,
    base-installer 1.68ubuntu1, choose-mirror 2.08ubuntu1, clock-setup
    0.12ubuntu1, console-setup 1.13ubuntu3, debian-installer-utils
    1.38ubuntu1, grub-installer 1.19ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.43ubuntu1,
    localechooser 1.30ubuntu1, partconf 1.19, silo-installer 1.07ubuntu1,
    tzsetup 1:0.14, user-setup 1.7ubuntu1, yaboot-installer 1.1.8ubuntu1.
    (partman-* will be updated next time round, when we're ready for it.)
