discussion on IRC suggests this is due to incomplete langpack publishing. Colin is working on getting us integrity checking for -updates pocket installability, but ubiquity should also be more robust against this failure.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.12.8

---------------
ubiquity (2.12.8) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Before starting to do anything with apt, generate the locale in the
    target system, copy it out, and start using it (LP: #644736).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Replace use of assert in install_misc by a check, revert and exception
    so that errors can be ignored by the caller, useful for langpacks.
