Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity-frontend-kde

Installation from desktop CD fails after selection of language/timezone/keyboard with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde-ui.py", line 1339, in watch_debconf_fd_hel

    (size_int, size_frac) = num.split('.', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

(Note: I tried to print the value of num by inserting a print statement in the python file - apparently num was "0-0", but this could also have been a different output).

Thanks for your report. This is also bug 95400; run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity' in a terminal window before starting the installer to pick up the fix.

I did . and the installation (manual partitioning) worked this time.
