Feb 22 14:11:33 ubiquity: Partman: auto_state = None
Exception caught in process_line:

ubi-partman.PartmanOptionError: partman-target/choose_method should have None (crypto) option

This occurrs with i386,amd64 and amd64+mac images (20130222) desktop installations, live session or otherwise.

Steps:
1. Start the installation and go upto the manual partitioning step (Select something else at the 'Installation type' step)
2. Click 'New partition table' and click continue on the pop up
3. Add a partition and select it as 'physical volume for encryption' , enter the security keys and click OK
4. Now select the crypted partition eabove and click 'Change'
5. In the resulting 'Edit partition' window, select 'Use as' to be 'physical volume for encryption' , enter the security keys again and click OK
6. The crash can be observed at this point. THe logs are attached.

Note: Not very sure if steps 3,4 and 5 are legitimate and could be expected from an expert user. But there were no warnings against these actions in the process.

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Do not select disabled partitioning options, even if they are at the
    top of the list, e.g. when offline, upgrade option is disabled and at
    the top of the list. (LP: #1152921) Make the upgrade option
    description also insensitive when disabled, to match visual style.
  * Do not allow encrypting, encrypted volumes, by filtering out crypto
    method from "use as" combo box. (LP: #1131761)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't strip qualifiers off the locale used for non-translation-like
    categories when only a single UTF-8 locale matches the selected location
    (LP: #1158750).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel
    3.0~rc.4ubuntu31.
