Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Error looks like bug #123301 (edit by another user: I think it is different, see comment 4) but for me the install started to copying files and then I went away for a while. When back I had a apport crash notification waiting on the desktop. (Second user's experience: same thing the first time, I wasn't there when it crashed, the second time, when I was watching, it crashed when the progress bar was at the end or very near to the end).

Just happened on Lucid Beta 20100402 on Thinkpad T40.

Was running Lucid Alpha3 O.K., updated to Beta 01 April ran only 2 minutes on AOL Mail before crashing (bug submitted). CD live didn't have that problem so was trying to install and got this bug.

any workaround?

I think this bug is different than bug 123301 that was mentioned in the description. The traceback for that bug has an error about an incorrect number of arguments; this bug's traceback error is about "oem-config/remove_extras doesn't exist".

summary: - ubiquity crashed with DebconfError in command()
+ ubiquity crashed with DebconfError in command(); DebconfError: (10,
+ "oem-config/remove_extras doesn't exist")
tags: added: amd64 oem-config

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.2.14

---------------
ubiquity (2.2.14) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Update Kubuntu icon desktop/hi*-app-ubiquity.png for new logo

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Don't bail out if oem-config/remove_extras doesn't exist yet since
    oem-config isn't actually installed. (LP: #554324, LP: #554664)
