Bug Description

I just tried to `ubuntu-bug ubiquity` on a groovy(20.10) qa-test install using Xubuntu, however `ubuntu-bug` abended with python errors.

I tried to file this with `ubuntu-bug apport` & again errors (but scanning it looks identical)

I'm filing this report on my primary box and will apport-collect after filing, plus copy/paste the details from the actual box.

"UnboundLocalError: local variable 'project' referenced before assignment"
